At some point the agents will be good enough that you can tell them "here's $100, go make me money" and they will, maybe not a lot and not all the time, but the EV given the cost of inference will be positive.

If I’m the AI company why would I let you do that, when I could just do it myself and get all of the money?

Regulation. If it got proven to the point that it was scaled out en mass, it would get hit hard and fast.

		??? Then why would any AI company exist when they could just use their money to buy tokens from another AI company and make money for zero effort? There would be no incentive to be a provider. Not to mention inflation would grow to match or outpace the rate you could earn on these guaranteed AI gains.

Those rewards seem like they would be captured by the providers and AI companies though who would use them first to make themselves money. You would be left with whatever they didn’t pursue with their first movers advantage.

Good enough at what, fraud? Robotic Ponzi schemes would be an easy way to generate "income".

		More likely they bot will do research on how to make make money and do experiments given the resources available to it.
