Given enough time and money the chatbots we call "AI" today could contact and pay enough people that corn would happen. At some point it'll eventually have spammed and paid the right person who would manage everything necessary themselves after the initial ask and payment. Most people would probably just pocket the cash and never respond though.

You can already do this by…. Buying corn. At the store. Or worst case at a distributor.

It’s pretty cheap too.

It’s not like these are novel situations where ‘omg AI’ unlocks some new functionality. It’s literally competing against an existing, working, economic system.

So an "AI chatbot" is going to disintermediate this process without adding any fundamental value. Sounds like a perfect SV play....
