domains Will the gTLD originally launched by Amazon be the next ".AI" competitor?

[zotix]

Dear NamePros,

Discussion Topic mentioned in the Title of this Thread, I want to Quote something from the AWS-Blog:

Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of .BOT, a new generic top-level domain (gTLD) from Amazon. Customers can use .BOT domains to provide an identity and portal for their bots. Fitness bots, slack bots, e-commerce bots, and more can all benefit from an easy-to-access .BOT domain. The phrase “bot” was the 4th most registered domain keyword within the .COM TLD in 2016 with more than 6000 domains per month. A .BOT domain allows customers to provide a definitive internet identity for their bots as well as enhancing SEO performance.

Recently, i heard more and more about this gTLD, also for Example in this Article

Amazon makes .bot domain names easier to register​

As of today, March 05, 2024, there is just one sale record in Namebio's sales history.

According to nTLDStats, there are 10,309 (0.03%) registered Bot Domains, with NameCheap of a share of around 50%

So, it is pretty early to give a proper prediction about this TLD.
Recently, I saw someone asking for a Domain Appraisal—it was a 2L Domain—and then I started to think more about potential Use Cases for this gTLD.

Of course, all the 1L are already taken, so I thought about it and tried to look up, for example:
By the way, I saw that a Domain like "VM.BOT" is still available. It is, but I don't want to buy it.
Spaceship is selling it for approx 517$


So, my Question is: Will the gTLD originally launched by Amazon be the next "AI" competitor?

Let me know what you think about it - especially what kind of use cases you could Imagine for this gTLD.

And of course if you bought VM.BOT

Best regards,

I wouldn´t comparte them tbh.
Bots are rule-based and linear following a predetermined conversational flow, conversational AI is the opposite.

But I think there are some quite good usecases for .bot like :

Chat.bot
Trading.bot
FrontRun.bot
etc.
