Google unveils masterplan for letting AI shop on your behalf

For example, a music fan could tell an agent to buy concert tickets that go on sale at midnight and then go to sleep, knowing that the agent would buy the number and location of tickets they had asked for (presumably with a price limit).

In other words, you may pay the maximum price for the least desirable seats in your price range --- and of course Google makes money and invades your privacy in the process.

Buyer beware: A "Google" label means their interests are served first.
