如果人工智能代理取代了工作，那谁来购买商品呢？
人工智能代理正在被应用到各个领域。公司之所以使用它们，是因为它们快速且成本低廉。但如果代理取代了大量的有偿工作，人们就会失去收入。收入减少→消费减少→企业在自动化方面的推动力度更大。这感觉像是一个循环。
更便宜的价格确实有帮助，但如果人们没有工资，就无济于事。新工作可能会出现，但我不相信时机合适。此外，如果大部分收益都集中在少数拥有者手中，他们的额外消费并不能替代其他人的需求。
那么，究竟是什么维持了需求呢？是让工人拥有一部分利润的利润分享？还是来自“自动化红利”的某种收入保障？又或者是能够吸纳所有这些产出的全新市场？或者，现实世界的限制（如能源、计算能力、监管）减缓了这一进程。我可能遗漏了一些东西——这里具体的机制是什么？

AI agents are getting rolled into everything. Companies will use them because they’re fast and cheap. But if agents replace a lot of paid work, people lose income. Less income → less spending → businesses push even harder on automation. Feels like a loop.<p>Cheaper prices help, sure, but not if folks don’t have paychecks. New jobs might show up, but I’m not convinced the timing works. Also, if most gains go to a few owners, their extra spending won’t replace everyone else’s demand.<p>So what actually keeps demand up? Profit-sharing so workers own a piece? Some kind of income floor from “automation dividends”? Totally new markets that soak up all this output? Or maybe real-world limits (energy, compute, regulation) slow things down. I might be missing something—what’s the concrete mechanism here?
