Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Isn't this what they already say agents can do? (lemmy.ml)

Can someone who knows more about AI agents explain this to me?

Axios quotes an Anthropic spokesperson re: the Claude leaks, who says that this new capability is coming: "A "persistent assistant" running in background mode that lets Claude Code keep working even when a user is idle. "

Isn't that what they claim "agents" are doing already? Or am I missing something? I would hate to learn that "agents" are just a marketing term and they don't actually do the thing these companies claim... ;)

The AI in the article you linked was Open Claw, which is an open-source version of one of these persistent AIs, so you’re right. It links to LLMs like Claude, but Anthropic haven’t actually released their own version yet, which is why it was showing up in the original files as ‘built but not yet shipped’.
