Recently, I’ve seen a bunch of demonstrations of AI Agents on the blockchain “auto” interacting, with comments all saying “free your hands.” Frankly, when it comes to actually spending money, someone still has to be responsible: before signing, you need to carefully check if the authorization is unlimited, if the target contract is a new shell, if the routing has been filled with strange intermediate pools… AI says it can help you click buttons, but if something goes wrong, it won’t take the hit for you.

And then there are gas fees, slippage, cross-chain decisions—Agents are very likely to stumble on the “easiest” path. Especially now, retail investors are complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and fairness in ordering; transactions get front-run, get sandwiched, and AI will just work harder to turn you into content.

What I regret isn’t the outcome, but every time I see the excitement, I get itchy to jump in, forgetting that I’m just a liquidity intern stepping back. Anyway, I now prefer to be a bit slower, take a few more looks.
