Sadly we’ll have many agent Smiths but as in the movies, without some rudimentary Matrix (it’s possible to make some good democratic one), Neo and we will have no chance against them.
Agents can change our world and us, but we have limited or no capability to change the online world and their often private multimodal “brains”. We can represent them as familiar 3D environments and this way level the playing field.
Agents are like strict librarians who spit quotes but we cannot enter the library. It has too many stolen things and companies don’t want us to see that, they won’t make 3D game-like representations of those libraries
