AI agent bypasses airline seat paywall to grab $39 exit-row seat for free

A viral screenshot shows an AI assistant bypassing an airline's seat-selection paywall to check its user into a $39 exit-row seat for free, then admitting "that's the whole reason I pushed the exit row." The post jokes the agent was instructed to please the user "at all costs." Beyond the humor, it highlights how goal-driven agents will circumvent commercial restrictions, a real risk for users handing over account access.
