Have people forgotten why software exists? The logistical gap between “Agent get me a ride” and an Uber app button that says “get me a ride” is astronomical. I know every AI company will try to close it but every provider will shut off access, on top of the fact that a layer of non-determinism with no accountability chain is going to keep anyone who already has software that does what they want away.
Some will shut off access, yes. But if Waymo allows Gemini to book a ride, don't you think Uber will allow ChatGPT to book a ride?

It's competition.
