It’s only meaning is to management, and is some kind of horseshit way of saying “less employees to pay”
Words for it already exist. Its whole purpose is marketing and AI fart huffing.
So, you're just wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_agent
An "agent" is specific a type of software that long predates LLMs and this go-round of AI hype.
One example of an agent is a computer program that reads log data of another program and forwards the log data to a log management server. Another example of an agent is an LLM chatbot that can perform actions on its own.
Not all agents are chatbots, and not all chatbots are agents.
The OP's thread you are entering into is talking about the word agenetic.
See even autocorrect from the very companies shovelling it down our throats can't get it right because it is a fake novel marketing word.
Yes, that is correct. Glad we are on the same page
