Lately, I've been hearing everyone talk about AI Agents being able to "fully automate on-chain processes," and honestly, I remain skeptical: when it really comes down to execution, the parts that most need human oversight are actually the most boring ones. For example, permissions and signatures—no matter how smart an Agent is, it shouldn't open doors arbitrarily for you; handing over keys is like posting your home password in the elevator... Also, differences in cross-protocol rules, contract upgrades, temporary risk control switches—many of these can't be solved by "computing power" alone; someone needs to watch over who it's actually shaking hands with.

To put it simply, Agents can handle execution without issue, but the goals and boundaries need to be clearly defined by humans: when to stop at a loss, how to withdraw if something goes wrong, whether to push through when caught in a trap. Just like autonomous driving—it's usually steady, but when you hit construction zones, you still need someone to help steer.

Recently, the NFT royalty debate is the same—everyone wants automatic revenue sharing and creator protection, but when secondary liquidity tightens, everyone starts pulling in different directions. Writing rules on-chain doesn't mean there are no disputes; it just shifts the dispute to "who gets to change the parameters." Honestly, what I care about most now is: where are the real users, where does the money come from, and who can hit the stop button if something goes wrong.
