Accenture article is more like like PR and doesn't sound very practical.
It claim the current beat agent is from Anthropic Sonnet.

#42It feels like that already, most of the accounts that try to interact with me are bots. Dead internet, etc.
Plus a huge chunk of internet traffic is already bots

So far it is confined to the Internet. You just wait til they train robots. It will be gradual and then all at once. Especially coordination and swarming behavior between drones etc. We are cooked as they say.
I’m more optimistic about robots/drones. At least we could actively sabotage them with low tech tools, the Internet seems unrecoverable already, and how you will apply to jobs

#44In my experience I’d rather say a user look for a familiar UI which he knows how to navigate, even if boring or similar to other websites if familiar and standardized it can only be a benefit. That’s why projects such as Bootstrap had a huge success imo, and still are despite the increasing usage trend of utility belts like tailwindcss. A custom ui for each user seems so preposterous

#45We focused so much on how that we didn’t stop to ask why. We already have an interface for agents, we call that an API. Why do we need to have AI click buttons, that eventually call an API. Just skip the middle layer and go straight to an API that does everything that system is capable of doing.

#46My guess is 2026 to 2030... - ChatGPT releases a phone where the Lock Screen UI is like a FaceTime call with ur AI agent (can skin ur agent /assistant to however u want). H.E.R. The movie in ur pocket who does everything for u - All business will have their own agents and ur personal assistant / agent interfaces with them to get things done for you. I guess your agent could interface with your friends agent when they…
The thing I don’t really get is: who the heck is gonna create services for all these agents? Other agents? That won’t work. And what should they get done for you? The boring work of what? So you concentrate on yours hobbies? AIs are already playing guitar better than a hobbyist. Agents or not, high diffusion of AI or not if you want to make something significant and deep in your life you still need to go deeper yourself, agents wouldn’t work out for you, you’d just get lazier otherwise. And in your example what’s the purpose of agents interacting with other friend’s agents? Makes no sense to me, sounds like totally wasted compute

If your friends are away or busy and they want their agent to schedule meet up times or provide info like what's ur bday ..but that was a tail end thought. Each business or doctors office or other organizations buying their own AI agent from GPT or whomever jumps on this market I see valuable.
This thought popped in my head recently. I use ChatGPT while driving ..talk to it (have full conversations with it) to get things done and as a knowledge base . I recently asked give me steps for junking my old car in Pennsylvania which it did and gave me local businesses. I wish it just interfaced with the businesses and set up the day / time without me having to call them.

Because money. End-user interfaces can be served ads, are intrinsically rate limited, and are often the main money source. APIs make no ad revenue, can easily rack up expensive server costs, and are often a single third-party service that offer services to the rest of the customer base (bonus points for making you look bad if they implement a feature better).
It's trivial to insert ads into an API response. The fact that people don't is simply because we were never really API-first.
But it's also why ad-blockers generally work.

I think we'll have HUDs like Meta's Orion, with always monitoring AI agents, before long.
HUDs?
Love my meta ray bans but sorry Zuckerberg they won't replace phones only compliment them. You can not take selfies with glasses while your GPT phone/ AI Agent can take the right selfies for you (get u to best lighting).

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Remember when blockchain was going to be used in everything? Now we have AI + the ever favorite avatars.
Except AI is kinda already in everything from iphones to windows to google? Don't think that point holds well
Sure, but are LLMs? This is like saying "hashes are already used in everything from databases to network routers, so surely blockchain will succeed too!"
Not that I disagree that LLMs _will_ be used in a lot of places, many more than blockchain, but I want to point out that there is a qualitative difference between the two.
