Models will eventually be interface agnostic and they will cover all interfaces that are commonly used by individuals and organizations. It won't matter whether you have a nicely documented public API, a traditional website, or a phone interface to customer support.

It will never happen. Same reason why we post screenshots from social network A in social network B. Many don’t even want to put in the simplest of all APIs: a simple link to an external website.

As long as people make money from meatspace eyeballs looking at banners, these agents will be actively blocked or restricted just like all other scrapers.

Unfortunately a lot of the things we want agents to interact with don't expose neat APIs. Computer use and, eventually, physical locomotion are necessary for unlocking agent interactivity with the real world.
