Wait you sign a contract with the person mowing your lawn?

If they're an adult professional, yeah. Helps smooth out the home insurance if something happens and they get injured on your property or damage your property.
“I want my AI to handle my contracts so I can mow lawns in peace”. Ok now I see how that works! Thanks!
How far away are we from AI running the business (marketing, contracts, payment, scheduling, etc) while the humans compete with each other to do the lawn mowing for subsistence food & shelter? Put one of these tech bro CEOs in charge long enough for the AI to get good enough to do the top-level coordination and then recycle them into energy to power it all, and we're good to go!
A ways away. Anthropic tried recently and it went off the rails. https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1
Verbal contracts are still contracts. Anyone you hire for a job has a contract with you (implicit or explicit).
