I am guessing the capability and capacity would be limited in some way by compute. They are probably thinking of a dedicated agent that could be computing 24/7 trying to solve some problem assigned.

That person would be liable for their mistakes.

Who is liable for the agent’s mistakes.

Responsible, maybe, but Liable? I don't think so. So long as you genuinely try to do your best and don't break the law, the a company can do is fire you.

The AI agent could break the law.

But even if they don't, who is responsible for the mistakes. What if an error leads to people getting hurt?

Well that's what c levels are supposedly for, but all they ever get is golden handshakes and parachute off to the next company to cause problems at.

This is why the price is so high. It isn’t just a person at a desk. It’s a service anyone can access.

It also never calls in sick or sexually harasses an intern.

AI agent going to be the keener that works 24/7 365 while humans check the work andtake the blame.
