Dots are designed to automate online tasks, like buying furniture. In my initial experience, the always-on agent was a bit buggy and couldn’t complete a captcha.

Who is buying so much furniture that they need to automate the task?

People want to avoid the friction that goes with in-person encounters. So they app/agent every little (or big) thing they can.

Why on earth would anyone want to "automate" buying furniture? Is it something that you're doing so much of that you simply don't have the time? Is it so unimportant to you that you just trust whatever the technofascist bros think you should buy? What is wrong with people?

I'm currently using LLMs to suggest options for under-sink cupboards that'd fit my flat's pipes, utilize space best, have enough shelves and have no systemic issues mentioned in reviews. This is pretty time consuming manually, and a move is a busy time tbh. (I'll still decide which tho, not it.)

A fitted kitchen cupboard?

I mean, how many couches does the average person buy, unless they're JD Vance?

Why would I need any of this shit? This AI crap is like a crutch for stupid/indecisive people, and annoying for the rest of us. I saw a billboard for Gemini w/ the text "Gemini, talk me through my day." WTAF? If you're too dumb/indecisive to pick a sofa, maybe you need more than AI. Like, a doctor.

If I used an AI agent to buy furniture my wife would use her agent to draw up divorce papers before sundown.

Failing the captcha is the system working as designed. An agent that buys things should stop and hand off at exactly those points: captchas, payment, anything you can't undo.
