Although I agree with some of that, I think you should at least try to use agents for such tasks (in good faith) so that you can accurately assess whether they could be useful or not.

Firstly, why the fuck should I trust those agents do anything? They have way too much control.

Secondly, I’ve seen the output from LLMs in the chatbot mode, and good god am I not going to let an agent do anything like that.

So no… I don’t think I’ll try thank you very much.

I don’t think you are qualified to give an opinion if you don’t even bother to try it, it’s not very responsible. Comparing chatbot output to agentic output is also a very bad comparison, one has much more context than the other.
If that’s a trust issue just use a vm/sanbox

it’s not very responsible

I am literally saying I CANNOT trust these machines to do stuff on their own. I’d call that being responsible.

It might not be a true comparison, but it is giving me a good idea of what it can do.

And sure I can VM it, but then why even bother?

Irresponsible in the sense that agents might actually work for a lot of people, depending on what they do. But I agree with you that it’s quite concerning to see that many people completely outsourcing their entire judgment to machines.
