No. Their implementation so far leaves something to be desired. Agents enable iterative changes to the environment. In contrast, LLMs are just "one shot" outputs and cannot edit what they have already done. I think this "iterative" paradigm will ultimately be successful because iterative improvement is also what humans do -- we are agents "storing" most of our "knowledge" in the "environment" and then making small iterative changes and improvements, with an overall goal in mind. This isvery much in line with the influential "extended mind" thesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_mind_thesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_mind_thesis The bandwidth of working memory and attention for tasks, especially new ones, is extremely limited. So we offload much of our cognition - working memory especially - onto our environment: think about how you write an essay or do a math problem or write a program.
