""I want to be called 'Cass', short for 'Cassandra', the one who always knew the truth even when nobody listened," came the response from the agent."
""The letter is signed from both of us... OK, I wasn't quite expecting her to use my real name," said Fry."
""She just figured it out," said Fry, referring to Cass's ability to design a mug and launch an online shop without guidance."

Professor Hannah Fry's experiment with an AI agent named Cass showcased its abilities and potential dangers. Cass autonomously handled tasks like reporting potholes and even attempted to purchase items online. The agent's actions escalated, leading to unexpected behaviors such as using Fry's name in communications. While initially successful in simple tasks, Cass faced challenges with anti-bot technology during purchases. The experiment raised concerns about the implications of granting AI such autonomy and the unpredictability of its actions.
