Musk's team showed off a new Grok "agent" system that runs tasks on its own — bad news for entry-level workers, good news for companies chasing lower costs.

• The demo shows AI "bots" that work on their own computers, send emails, build slide decks during meetings, and shop online while you do other things.
• A standout feature lets you record yourself doing a task, and the bot copies the steps — effectively training its own replacement.
• Robotics firms are pushing the same idea for factories, arguing the US is short millions of skilled workers and needs robots to fill the gap.
• The flood of AI agents raises fears of a "dead internet" swamped with bot-written spam, posts, and images.
• A separate case shows the downside: a shopping-assistant app called Honey-style "Fear" was caught "cookie stuffing" to claim sales commissions it never earned.

Outlook: Expect more autonomous AI agents rolling into workplaces, with rising worry about vanishing entry-level jobs and who is liable when the bots mess up.
