    AGI is fusion 2.0. Only 30 years away, every 30 years 😂

    How long before agentic AI becomes enshittified the way that SEO enshittified search?

    • @clippy-is-here-to-help

      It’s built into its very nature.

    lol consumer problems that really matter. nice try corporate america, we don’t need things to help us consume more.

    • @Jnr-x97

      November 15, 2025 at 2:25 am

      It literally helps you save and consumption is at an all time low. What are you even complaining about here?

  4. @MoritzFischer

    November 14, 2025 at 11:14 pm

    Price drop alerts don’t need agentic AI consuming insane amounts of energy 😒

  5. @Jnr-x97

    I hope other AI companies start doing this, a practical use for this technology.

  6. @georgehart5182

    i fail to see why “agentic AI” is required for building a price tracker and “auto-buy threshold” tied to your credit card… this was also possible 10 years ago

    • @christinal9046

      November 15, 2025 at 9:58 am

      Agreed, “AI” is basically a marketing term at this point, never any details about what exactly makes it agentic AI vs a regular non-AI software app.

    • @anomy9835

      November 15, 2025 at 3:14 pm

      They are trying to justify AI every way possible to keep up the AI bubble. The only thing they won’t do is agentic c-suite.

    • @clippy-is-here-to-help

      November 16, 2025 at 3:20 am

      It’s for the consumer that wants those features, but desires less predictability, worse security, and a higher failure rate.

  7. @ChrisCoombes

    November 15, 2025 at 4:19 am

    Isn’t finding the money to buy the things a bigger problem than finding the things to buy?

  8. @bitesizefirst

    November 15, 2025 at 6:17 am

    They are selling us new illusions to buy. FCK Google, they are turning evil.

  9. @dimabondarenko_com

    November 15, 2025 at 12:20 pm

    We don’t need agents shopping for us, especially for things we don’t even use. It just feels like another layer of consumerism

  10. @fredyoman

    November 15, 2025 at 1:36 pm

    Common folks don’t have money to do basic grocery
    This agentic fegentic mambo jumbo won’t work 😂😂

  11. @funguy2627

    November 15, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    Can’t wait when the agent buys you the most expensive overpriced item you didnt even need! This is peak Tecnholgica!

  12. @topgxpert

    November 15, 2025 at 4:45 pm

    Most people do not want to set up a bot to buy something for them, so this is still not a real use case.

    • @bobbilly87

      November 16, 2025 at 11:58 am

      It doesn’t have to be most people to be profitable to charge it as a premium feature for people who do.

    • @topgxpert

      November 16, 2025 at 3:32 pm

      @bobbilly87 yeah but I promise you it won’t be a quarter I use the word most in way of google will put these bots out for free and secondly people brain aren’t train to pay. AI is expensive and if you put quotas on what they can do the experience will not be good I just can’t get the use case it’s not there but we can all bet I bet 8 years ago glasses to record won’t be a thing won’t be profitable an I am winning on that. I don’t see paid browser winning most people don’t search like researcher why would I pay for that

  13. @QuentinAnthonyAnderson

    November 15, 2025 at 5:57 pm

    If you actually look up the feature, it’s not shopping for you autonomously or making purchases without your authorization. It’s essentially just a one click button added to the price tracking feature. When it hits a price you tell Google is your sweet spot, it will alert you and give you the option to one click purchase it, similar to the Buy Now feature on Amazon or Walmart.

    Google just fully eat the whole world

    Control she said, means where our cut 🙄

  16. @tomparatube6506

    November 16, 2025 at 10:36 am

    “Agentic”: AI buzzword duly noted. Same meaning as autonomous, so fancy but empty.

  17. @toreon1978

    November 16, 2025 at 11:24 am

    1:09 wow not even veiled the question by the idiotic interviewer. It’s not a out helping customers. It’s about increasing conversion. If you do it that way, then: Go to hell Google!

  18. @Pha8ed

    November 16, 2025 at 4:15 pm

    How about an ai to help find affordable housing. Or help someone developed a skill to get a job. How about building something not around the framework of milking the last remaining resources from the middle class. Terrible
