I see my post has been downvoted a little bit; I don't think there is much wrong in it. I get that people don't want large parts of their job to be made redundant by tech bros, and assume that are probably just downvoting the entire concept. I haven't disclosed my opinion on the morality of a lot of what LLM builders have done, I just stated what I thought the reality of the situation was.

I will say that I think up and downvotes should be dropped, they instigate all sorts of unhealthy behaviour because the little dopamine hits they generate are addictive.

The reality is that 'bespoke' ai agents are being written and deployed on a small scale now and they are useful. And should large LLM's fail to achieve the results they have hyped (as I expect), ai agents are a rapidly developing technology waiting to go mainstream which, when successful, can harness the functionality of LLM's while eliminating a lot of the errors they make.

If you are career-minded and think your role could be affected I recommend looking into it and having a think. Or don't. Woteva - I can't predict the future but I do know the where the technology is at and am just doing people who are concerned about it a favour by giving them a bit of a heads up about ai agents. Should their 'potential' by fulfilled they will be hugely impactful but there is still time to prepare. Forewarned is forearmed.
