This is a great article and I think I agree with most of it, not being an agent user myself.

One point the author might be missing is:

The tech giants and AI bros alike have been bombarding us with "but look what it can do NOW", "the new shiny model is revolutionary, now buy tokens", "look what's around the corner" and whatever else for over 2 years now. Can you really blame a typical "skeptic" for not being interested in putting their time to veryfing these claims themselves after seeing mediocre results so many times? You start to develop a filter for these things.
