    contra contra citrini makes more logical jumps than the original, or more maybe it doesn't see obvious things, claims impossibility instead of seeing the middle path

    eg. Shopping and hading over credit cards, don't have to, it can price compare and then ask the user for confirmation, because tool confirmation is a part of any framework worth it's muster. Or it won't know what to buy... duh, the whole process starts with a query, it doesn't make citrini's story an impossibility. At the same time, in home monitoring could totally let the bot know what needs to be purchased

      > it can price compare and then ask the user for confirmation

      Sure, but that's explicitly not what the Citrini article said. It said: "The part that should have unsettled investors more than it did was that these agents didn’t wait to be asked. They ran in the background according to the user’s preferences. Commerce stopped being a series of discrete human decisions and became a continuous optimization process, running 24/7 on behalf of every connected consumer."

        There are people already doing that today. Why do you think it will not increase in usage?

        That's sort of besides the point. Both of you claim an extreme, the truth is in between.
