All of this is actually happening and it’s not even brand new. I guess it’s new to you, but some of us have been using these tools for years now.
If you’re an older adult in a blue collar field you might be able to get away with spending your life thinking it’s a stupid toy, but if you’re young you might want to pay attention because real soon you’re going to enter a work force where people are going to expect you to understand how these tools work
Tools like Siri and Alexa are over 12 years old and while they weren’t based on LLMs its a clear indication that this kind of virtual assistant is not going away
And AI Agents and real LLMs are pushing 4 years now
You think you’re being clever but you’re just setting yourself up for failure
Good luck I guess… but in 5 years you don’t get to say nobody told you. So, take this time now to learn or end up being the new-age version of one of those people who don’t know how to open a PDF
I’m telling you right now, AI is not going anywhere and AI agents are everywhere
I’m just trying to explain to you that while your experience with AI appears to just be people making shitty TikTok videos or whatever, in reality AI Agents are a new way to use your computer and it’s not going to go away
Maybe you’re too young to know this, but in the early 2000s we had all of our music on our computer. Literal music files. And it was a big deal to keep it organized. So if you had 200,000 songs you would want to make sure they were all in folders by artist or just straight up named {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} so you could find what you wanted to listen to quickly
But music files had no guaranteed naming convention so everyone just did what they thought was best and when you ripped a song off a CD or downloaded it off the internet the naming convention could be anything. So we spent hours renaming songs and filling out details, adding album artwork, etc… so that everything looked the way we wanted in our preferred music playing app like ITunes.
You know, when the song played, the right image showed up, it had the right star rating, the genre was correctly flagged, etc…
If AI Agents had existed back then, renaming all 200,000 songs to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} would be literally as easy as going into your Agent and typing
“Please rename all of my music files in c:\users\myuser\music to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName}”
And that’s it… the Agent, because it knows every song by every artist, can figure out what every file in that folder is and what the name is suppose to be; and then it will actually rename the files for you, successfully
No business is looking at that kind of technology and saying, “this is dumb”.
Hey, remember that time I called you a shill?
Fuck off and go play with your Virtual Boy.
This is just silly

So, yes?
