So basically, we now can use our own AI agent to speak with businesses' AI agent for requesting dark patterned cancellations?

View on HN

And honest businesses and government services (and the people that they serve) will be the innocent bystanders in the dark patterns arms race.

As well as all the people that DON'T use AI agents to talk to companies or the gov. Because if the new normal is 'mail bomb them until you get what you want', your single, soft email will just get buried.

> mail bomb them until you get what you want

I understand you mean sending lots of mail, but for a minute there I thought you were talking about the Unabomber type of mail bomb

Which definitely did not work out for him

If the Unabomber had used an LLM instead of composing his manifesto manually, he may not have been caught in the manner he was.

Or, we could just have decent return policies in the first place.

And what about the honest customers that now are getting shafted?

The waiting is for AI lawyers and AI courtrooms.

Kafka had nothing on Judge Claude. Nothing!

We joke but you know there will be AI Judges on reality TV soon enough.

Which will normalize AI justice and make it acceptable for the general audience. By the time they find out they've been screwed, it's too late.

Jensen Huang gets red in the face and tight in the pants thinking about all these institutions running infinity agents in a red queen's race for the status quo

Cue the movie Mercy lol

this ai-ai interaction could have been a deterministic API

The problem is that a lot of people don't want things to be deterministic because they want the risk of getting one over on you. They choose a worse system because essentially gambling gives them a thrill.

No no no, as an optimization Amazon will recognize that both AI are running in AWS and will internally skip the back and forth and directly cancel it.

Then other companies will join in and in-network AI fights will be solved through immediate arbitration.

To win the arbitration you'll need an AI subscription fee at equal or greater value to the one you're attempting to cancel.
