It's marketing BS in the hands of grifters.


"Agentic" feels like the new "Generative".

Yes, it means something "vague" and vibes oriented. It's when you can run things in a terminal or async or something maybe.


I've been trying to make it less vague. I'm using it to mean something that's directly related to running tools in a loop to achieve a goal.


Can you expand on why you think that?


I'm saying there are grifters who co-opt the terms used by people actually pioneering / exploring the space, to sell BS; and that taints OP's view.

This doesn't need stating but if it does I am not saying you are a grifter, obviously, because you substantiate your positions. Just another classic signal v. noise.


That makes sense, thanks.
