AI is for people without natural intelligence.

#3> Each new interaction requires processing ALL previous context
I was under the impression that some kind of caching mechanism existed to mitigate this

This is obviously AI generated, if that matters.
And I have an AI workflow that generates much better posts than this.

#6It's clear that what we currently call AI is best suited for augmentation not automation. There are a lot of productivity gains available if you're willing to accept that.

Let's get a timer to watch this fall off the front page of HN in minutes.
"We can't allow this post to create FUD about the current hype on AI agents and we need the scam to continue as long as possible".

I think it's just written by someone who reads a lot of LLM output - lots of lists with bolded prefixes. Maybe there was some AI-assistance (or a lot), but I didn't get the impression that it was AI-generated as a whole.

#9> Production systems need 99.9%+ reliability
This is not remotely true. Think of any business process around your company. 99.9% availability would mean only 1min26 per day allowed for instability/errors/downtime. Surely your human collaborators aren't hitting this SLA. A single coffee break immediately breaks this (per collaborator!).
Business Process Automation via AI doesn't need to be perfect. It simply needs to be sufficiently better than the status quo to pay for itself.

Caching would only help to keep the context around, but caching would only be needed if it still ultimately needs to read and process that cached context again.
