@null there are some useful "chore" stuffs e.g. keeping track of pricing of an item on Amazon then auto-notify you when the price drops, then safeguard prompt you before actually buying it. This is probably the "good" use-case.
The "bad" use-case would be someone using the bot to spam buy tickets for a concert and DDOS the website π

@cheeaun@mastodon.social I think concert tickets are already DDOS by bots in the past. So no different I guess.
That chore price drop stuffs or grocery buying maybe can be a use case, but I'm wonder do people really trust all this bot to handle money stuffs. π€ I guess they still need you confirmation (or manual credit card, bank verification step) manually.

@null yeah DDOS was already a thing, but now will be even more π
As for moneyβ¦ there's XCash from X, and "agentic payments" from Stripe and whole bunch of startups (YC backed *a lot* of those agentic whatever startups). They're already anticipating all these things π
