killing the api? can you redo that press release with buzzwords

Code is my canvas  | AI art IS art | the future of art is not set in stone | Uriel Avalos | linktr.ee/robotandkid

that's just more buzz words. under the hoods agents use API keys.

pretend im a boomer engineer. try explaining it that way

Killing the *api key*.

AI agents don't have credit cards. They can't go through a human focused API key signup process. But they need access to paid data and money.
