After seeing the autonomous browser and compiler projects trend here, and having been a vocal critic in the comments, I felt compelled to write a long-form rebuttal.
My thesis: AI agents are powerful tools for experts, but the current "autonomous swarm" narrative is economically driven hype that produces useless code. I attempt to demystify how agents actually function under the hood, and argue that their true value comes from expert-led conversation rather than autonomous loops.
