Screw driver doesnt have agency but it certainly helps me get tasks done faster. AIs don't need agency to accelerate a ton of work

I did not mean to imply that AI isn't helpful already.

But a screw-driving assistant is more useful if he drives in screws on his own than if you have to prompt his every action. I'm not saying that a "dumb" assistant does not help at all.
