+1 for the word agentic AI. I think that is what I was looking for.
However, I don’t believe that gradient descent alone can turn an AI agentic. No matter how long you train a language model, it is not going to suddenly want to acquire resources to get better at predicting human language (unless you specifically ask it questions about how to do that, and then implement the suggestions. Even then you are likely to only do what humans would have suggested, although maybe you can make it do research similar to and faster than humans would have done it).
