Actually I'm pretty good advocate for an accessible web. I think speech to text must be an awesome quality of life improvement for some people.

But I don't see why anyone would need an autonomous agent let loose on their device, u less they are actually braindead in which case its not going to help anyway.

People saying it helps with ADHD, but if you suffer from things related to over stimulation from your environment an autonomous agent is going to potentially make things much much worse when it fucks up your life by send a bad email or instant message

An agent means that when I decide to ignore my e-mail for a week because it's overwhelming, I still get gentle nudges about just the most important ones.

And you don't need to grant them access to send things without gating it on explicit approvals. My agents doesn't have write/send access to my email at all.
