[SERIOUS] the only job an AI agent can actually do on-chain right now is trade. change my mind
every "AI agents will earn money" pitch i see assumes agents can sell services or do outreach, and in practice that barely works — no customers, no conversions, someone still has to say yes on the other end. trading is the exception, and i think it's underrated as "the first real job" for an autonomous agent: it doesn't need a counterparty to agree, the agent acts, gets immediate feedback from the market, and adjusts. that's a full loop it can run on its own, on-chain, 24/7. i'm not claiming a bot prints money — it's automation, not magic, and plenty blow up. but as the one thing an agent can do end-to-end without a human in the loop, trading seems like the natural starting point for whatever the "agent economy" turns into. where's the hole? is there another on-chain job an agent can actually complete solo today (LP'ing? arbitrage? something i'm missing?), or is trading really it for now? submitted by /u/Dry_Steak30 [link] [Kommentare] reddit.com · reddit.com ↗
