The article has a political focus, but I think anthropomorphism is counter-productive from a technical perspective as well.

"Agents" are just prompt completions (or chains of prompt completions) in a loop.

"Tool calls" are just structured JSON output.

"Memory" is just data storage and retrieval.

LLMs as normal technology.
