Recently, everyone’s been hyping AI Agents that can fully automate on-chain tasks. I’m definitely tempted—after all, saving effort equals saving money. But once you actually get into the operation, you still need a human to back you up: for cross-chain transfers, deposits, and withdrawals, if you pick the wrong route even once, you end up paying an extra layer of fees, and you might even get stuck on the bridge for half a day. There’s also authorization (approve) and signature pop-ups—no matter how smart the Agent is, it might still just ask for “unlimited, full amount” approval. What I do now is manually reduce the amount, and clear out any old authorizations at the same time.

Also, haven’t people been complaining lately about miner/validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering? Basically, you might think trades go through in the order you click the buttons—but in reality, you could get cut in line, and slippage can end up getting worse. An Agent can’t fix that kind of “queue rules,” either.

A newbie misconception: thinking an Agent is auto-driving that’s basically a sure thing.
My current understanding: at most, it’s a diligent driver—the route and the braking still have to be watched by me. Anyway, wherever it’s cheaper, I’ll go there.
