What’s the most cringe-worthy thing you’ve seen in the AI agents space? My 3 top pics

Today, I’m doing a slightly more relaxed and bizarre corner.

The internet is full of things that are either amusing or scary, but mostly things that capture something outside the norm (and over time, even these weird things tend to become normalised).

What are the 3 strangest things in AI agents you’ve come across recently (or in general)?

Here’s my list:

1. An OpenClaw bot sent an inappropriate message to a boss on behalf of an employee via WhatsApp.

2. A platform emerged where bots hire real people to complete real-world tasks in exchange for stablecoins.

3. An AI bot paid for an overpriced course just to access the required information.
