"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No. AI agents are not real.
There are not and will not ever be "AI Agents" based on LLM technology. They might make a shitty tool and call it "AI Agents" but it is not going to be this magic entity you are envisioning. I hope this is good news for you.
So, bots with a fancy name?
That is what bots have been doing for decades.
Nah, text extruders didn't seem impossible and their development has not been impressive considering the amount of hype and investment. They haven't become significantly more capable or suited to tasks, and the primary viable usecases for LLM are still tied to transcription, translation, and captioning.
I think you may have some rather big issues with paranoia and fantastical idealizations.
I know you don't care persay but also try to stay grounded in reality that's real around you. Not caring to the point where you slip completely away can leave people you know and care about not knowing you anymore when you exist in your own world.
If you have to invent whole new laws, physics, and tech to make something work and even then it doesn't nothing to help you for knowing it... It's probably best left alone, until you are not alone.
