I don&amp;#x27;t agree with the ideas and I think a lot of other people were also skeptical, but I bring it up to say that some people take the other side of your argument rather seriously and that there&amp;#x27;s a lot of existing debate on the topic. Here&amp;#x27;s Tim Berners-Lee talking about this way back in 1999:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and transactions between people and computers. A &amp;quot;Semantic Web&amp;quot;, which makes this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines. The &amp;quot;intelligent agents&amp;quot; people have touted for ages will finally materialize.&lt;p&gt;I quoted this from &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Semantic_Web&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Semantic_Web&lt;/a&gt; since the original reference was a book that is not openly accessible. Also I think it&amp;#x27;s funny that he&amp;#x27;s talking about agents in exactly the same way that people do now.</text></comment>
