You're doing that by calling them "agentic systems".
- bee_rider 7mo agoUnfortunately that’s what they are called. I was hoping the phrasing would highlight the problem rather than propagate it.
- pixl97 7mo agoEh, if you tell me that I need to do X, then I can make choices on how to accomplish X, that I am no longer an agent as a human? You're trying to redefine long standing definitions for God knows what reason.
- bee_rider 7mo agoThe difference is that you are a sentient person who decides to follow my instructions, not just a tool that I use.
- tasuki 7mo agoThe "agentic" tools follow instructions. We are adaptation-executers, following instructions evolution gave us. Don't think too highly of us humans. We're just tools evolution uses.
- Singletoned 7mo agoThe idea of "sentience" here could be replaced with "a soul" or "magic thinking powers" or almost anything else. It's an undefinable concept.
