In the past few days, I've seen a bunch of narratives about AI Agents doing automatic trading and copy trading flying around. Honestly, it's quite tempting: lying back while the blockchain does the work for you. But the more I look at it, the more I think that for real implementation, someone still needs to cover a few key steps—who exactly is authorized (approve), how large are the limits; whether the contract address is a fake with the same name; and when "automatic" encounters extreme slippage, lag, or MEV sandwich attacks, it won't be there to feel sorry for that transaction fee.

A couple of days ago, I even considered logging out or uninstalling a certain interaction tool from my wallet altogether, to prevent accidental full authorization someday... But then I calmed down and didn't uninstall it. Instead, I set it so that my main wallet only holds a small amount, and I turn off authorizations when I can; if I want to try new stuff, I use a clean secondary account. Anyway, the hype is theirs, I can take it slow—at least I can avoid most pitfalls. Now, I can't tell exactly who is pushing narratives, but who is focusing on security, I can spot that at a glance.
