    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?

      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

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

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

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

    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

      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.

      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.

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

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

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

  9. @dimabondarenko_com

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

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

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

    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

    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.

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

    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!

    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
