Or we're in another hype cycle and billions of dollars are being pumped in to sustain the current bubble with a lot of promises about how fast the world is changing. Doesn't mean AI can't be a useful tool.

When people say “hype cycle” that can mean so many different things. That valuations are too high and many industry “promises” are wrong is maybe true but to me it’s irrelevant, this isn’t speculative, I think most posters who are positive on agents in these threads are talking about two things: current, existing tools, and the existing rate of progress. Check out e.g. Epoch.ai for great industry analyses. To compare AI to crypto is disingenuous, they are completely different and crypto is a technology that fundamentally makes no sense in a world where governments want to (and arguably should) control money supply. You may or may not agree on that take but AI is something that governments will push aggressively and see as crucial to national security/control. It means this is not going away
