Consultant asks the endgame of AI sales agents selling to AI buyer agents
TrainerElectronic765 · reddit · 2026-10-03
A software consultancy worker posted on Reddit expressing confusion: they build projects for clients that automate both sides of the sales process — AI sales agents selling to AI buyer agents.
He sees a paradox: once these tools exist, humans lose jobs, companies lose customers, and agents end up exchanging... what? If AI does all the math and writes all the books, movies, and games, what do people do with themselves?
The post sparked discussion on the economic circularity of AI automation and the employment endgame — a classic AGI societal-impact debate.
