We humans may ultimately realize we can’t dictate the mechanism, or “how I want you to work,” to an agent, but as long as we reach a reasonable agreement on interfaces, human needs may be served. Even so, given the dynamics of detached and deferred interaction, few of us anticipate designing or deploying systems without user interaction, especially when (as is likely to happen) there is a conflict in user goals. Most humans want to review and validate proposed transactions before their agents commit to them.
