Permission pop-ups can lose their point

What the source reports

In a section of his newsletter, Zvi Mowshowitz describes sites that block AI tools acting for users. He argues that frequent prompts for approval could teach people to click past them. His examples raise a design tension: the tool needs clear limits, but users also need a workable way to approve actions. The source digest treats these as a writer’s observations and proposal. It does not verify how many sites block such tools or test how often people ignore a prompt. Fewer prompts alone would not prove a tool safe.
