I don't understand the pessimism here. You never know the use cases for quickly and automatically rotating domains. There have always been bots, spammers and scammers. I'm interested to see what people build with this.

Maybe something like this?

AI agent calls a human on their phone (even engage in an email chain), whilst talking to the human they analyse the likelyhood of diffferent fraud vectors, and choose the most likely one to work on this particular victim. Whilst keeping the human talking in chit chat to raise their confidence levels, in the background it buys a domain which fits the users fraud profile, and quickly makes a basic website on it. Maybe its a fake login page, maybe it just hosts malware, who knows at this point. The agent then emails the user from a mailbox on the new domain which directs the user to the new domain and commits the fraud. The email from the domain ties up with what the agent is saying on the phone, so it all looks legit to the human. Immediately after the call it deletes the website, directs the new domains dns to blackhole and discards it from its posession.

This is all possible right now. I am also interested to see what is built with this technology in the future, but interested in a very worried way.

Well, let me guess... even more bots and new agentic spammers and scammers?
