I just saw people talking about AI agents interacting with on-chain systems, and I’m actually pretty laid-back about it, but this question really is kind of interesting.

You know, people say AI can automatically run strategies, rebalance, optimize yield, and even write a bit of code for contracts—but honestly, I still feel that some parts really need humans watching. For example, if a flash-loan attack suddenly comes in, or if a protocol parameter is tweaked by even a decimal place, the agent might still be dumbly running according to its program. Humans will be able to tell something’s off immediately. And for governance votes—can an agent really understand the subtext in the proposals? Anyway, I’m not too convinced.

Recently, social mining and fan tokens have been heating up again, with slogans like “attention is mining.” It sounds pretty mystical. But I think this is a far cry from the stable returns you get from staking. “Attention” is too intangible. No matter how smart an AI agent is, it can’t truly tell whether you’re generating real buzz or whether it’s robot-buzzing. It could easily get led down the wrong path.

What I learned wasn’t a technique—it was knowing my own weight and limits, and not wanting to touch everything.
