If AI agents take off, we might see a new rise of scam ads. Instead of being made to trick humans and thus easily reportable, they'll be made to trick specific AI agents with gibberish adversarial language that was discovered through trial and effort to get the AI to click and follow instructions. And ad networks will refuse to take them down because, for a human moderator, there's nothing obviously malicious going on. Or at least they'll refuse until the parent company launches their own AI agent service and these ads become an issue for them as well
