All of this is forced, yes. There's probably a trillion dollars riding on this all not imploding, so we're getting it shoved everywhere, all the time, incessantly.

My own experience with "Agents" (and no, I am not a luddite) has been nothing short of comical in how terrible it's been. We try it every single day at our company. We've tried all the advice. All the common wisdom. They have never, not once, produced anything of any value. All the public showcases of these brilliant "agents" have also been nothing short of spectacular failures [1]. Yet despite all this, I keep seeing these type of posts, and pretty much always it's from someone with a vested interest of some kind when you dig deep down enough. All the managerial types pushing it, you look deep enough it's always because the board or investors or whatever other parasite has a vested interest.

I know one thing is for certain, what AI will give us is more and more fucking advertisements shoved into every facet of our lives, except now it sorta talks like a human!
