Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said in an interview that AI is approaching the so-called "uncanny valley of wealth," a stage in which income generated by an individual's AI agents may exceed earnings from personal labor. According to Odaily, Lee said people may begin to question whether they are working for AI or AI is working for them.

He also said AI agents may eventually take over bank accounts, replace some jobs, and build an independent financial system. Lee added that this trend may make people fear the future.
