Why Normal People Aren’t Using AI Agents

The tech industry is realizing it needs to build agents based on what regular consumers want, not just what its AI models can do.

What we want is software that behaves predictably. Since LLMs don't do that, we don't want them or their "agents."

For fuck's sake.

To be clear, "normal" people are using LLMs like crazy. This I believe is specifically talking about is installed local agents. Boomers and non tech industry suits are using LLMs left and right and won't shut up about them.

They are not using agents. Most people use LLMs as Google on steroids.
