Is this what it feels like to become one of the gray bearded engineers? This sounds like a bunch of intentionally confusing marketing drivel.

When capitalism has pilfered everything from the pockets of working people so people are constantly stressed over healthcare and groceries, and there's little left to further the pockets of plutocrats, the only marketing that makes sense is to appeal to other companies in order to raid their coffers by tricking their Directors to buy a nonsensical product.

Is that what they mean by "agentic era"? Cause that's what it sounds like to me. Also smells alot like press release driven development where the point is to put a feather in the cap of whatever poor Google engineer is chasing their next promotion.

What are you basing your opinion on? I have no idea how well these LLM agents will perform but its definitely a thing. OpenAI is working on them , Claude and certainly Google.

Yeah it’s a lot of marketing fluff but these tools are genuinely useful and there’s no wonder why Google is working hard to prevent them from destroying their search-dependent bottom line.

Marketing aside, agents are just LLMs that can reach out of their regular chat bubbles and use tools. Seems like just the next logical evolution
