What drives progress? Laziness! By nature, people are lazy beings, except in cases when a person is truly motivated by something.

Exactly. In general, I think should always try to automate/AI away the things that feel like a chore wherever we can do it without eliminating the platform's appeal to humans (or better, use automation/AI to enhance the human appeal).

I also had the thought that in the future decentralized platforms may be created where AI agents will interact with each other without human participation.

Yeah, it seems sort-of inevitable to me. It's happening on all platforms, and it'll happen here, too. I think the only question is whether the stakeholders get there with deliberate and strategic decision making or if we get dragged there against our will.
