AI agents are remarkably bad at "self-awareness"

Because today’s “AIs” are glorified T9 predictive text machines. They don’t have “self-awareness.”

I think "contextual awareness" would fit better, and AI Believers preach that it's great already. Any errors in LLM output are because the prompt wasn't fondled enough/correctly, not because of any fundamental incapacity in word prediction machines completing logical reasoning tasks. Or something.
