There are stock market mechanisms that, if used with enough whales pulling the same chariot, will result in massive gains even though the user base consists exclusively of bots using the companies' credit cards.

Not too long ago, it was just a circle jerk marketing trick like rolling back the mileage of a car is, but then crypto currencies came around the corner and the whole scheme became incredibly profitable.

AI agents, impersonating humans or not are about to make that scheme even more profitable with the only outcome being an accelerated increase of ultra wealth and whose_ever else's wealth, who has the resources and/or hardware to run such schemes without series rounds of serious seed funding ...

Should anybody be worried?

A rational or even fair distribution of wealth was never a priority, ever but given how ultra wealth was ( not ) spend in the past decades since they stopped building beautiful ( now ) old-towns and public spaces and improving schools and stuff, it's likely this additional ( dumb ) money will flow into luxury and space markets and their supply chains ...

Oh, I digressed; I was gunning for tastes of creativity pre-dicted and driven by bots and the loopy feedback effects on human characters who now adapt to stars being driven by whatever botnet drives their market value ...
