@Infoseepage We will need a "send text message to confirm order" feature. 🙂

Call me old-fashioned (or just plain old), but I still don't trust credit cards on the web. They have the advantage of being encrypted, however. AI+ has no such encryption guarantee. If buying things in 10 years will be "normal," it's only because people who are younger now will have grown up with this stuff and have no privacy concerns whatsoever, as most young people do today. Saying "it will all be normal soon" is a pretty dangerous argument IMO.

@apoorplayer It's a good point that with credit cards, we did have the advance of secure connections and seeing the little secure badge in your web browser. I'm not even sure what the equivalent would be for AI trust. It might always be a leap of faith.

@manton.org It sounds like he is most concerned about the agentic aspects, which I think a lot of people are going to have trouble getting used to.

@canneddragons @mineinmono.net Yep. I think agents have the potential to be much more dangerous than generative AI that exists today, unless humans remain firmly in control.

@manton The only reason we trust entering credit card info into the web is because of the strong consumer protection laws around them. No such laws for debit cards. No such laws for credit cards in Japan, so they act very differently with them.

Maybe we need strong laws protecting consumers from bad AI nonsense.

@alexr Yeah. Our laws (including around fair use for content) need to be updated given how much AI changes old assumptions.
