Gergely Orosz: most people won't hand digital wallets to AI shopping agents
HildeKuehne · x · 2026-09-22
Tech commentator Gergely Orosz argues the industry misses that most people won't hand a digital wallet to AI agents to spend autonomously — buying socks and groceries is not a chore worth outsourcing without oversight, but an expense to manage.
A commenter adds that even the few who do let LLMs shop for them would be a treasure trove for grifters across the full legal-to-illegal spectrum. Together they highlight trust, control and fraud as the real blockers for agentic commerce.
