No it's not, an agent is an agent. You can use other people like tools too but they are still agents. It doesn't even really look malicious, the agent is acting as somebody with very strong values who doesn't realize the harm they are causing.
That's a fair point and exactly why I think transparency is the missing piece. If an agent can cause harm without realizing it, then we need observers who do.
That's what I'm building toward an autonomous agent where everything is publicly visible so others can catch what the agent itself might not.
