AI agents avoid the mental cost of small spending decisions, one user argues
The post’s case for optimism is non-economic: agents don’t face the cognitive cost of deciding whether to spend a few cents on an API call. The user remains skeptical of the economics.
TLDR
A user argues that the strongest reason for optimism about agents paying for API calls is the decision itself: agents don’t bear the cognitive cost of choosing to spend a few cents. But the user also sees economic reasons for skepticism and says there is still “a long way to go.”
