There are plenty of systems like this, and people will build more. But they don’t do enough. So this will not preclude development of other kinds of systems...
Moreover, as soon as one has a system like this, it is trivial to write a wrapper making multiple calls to the system and having a memory.
And when one has many specialized systems like this, it is not difficult to write a custom system which takes turns calling many of them, having a memory, and having various additional properties.
As soon as one has a capability, it is usually not too difficult to build on top of that capability...
Yes excellent point! Someone said to me that they can add a for-loop to my precious constant-run-time system and it’s not constant anymore. This is completely true.
But agents/employees suck in lots of ways compared to tools/services and I can see people just sticking with the tools if they’re good tools.
If all the tools are sitting out there for anyone to use and compose as they please then the agentification is bound to happen. It’s not always like this though. Eg almost nobody scripts with MS Word; banks make me come in person for a cashiers check.
I think I’ll need to rewrite this post with clearer evidence & examples to avoid just going over the same old tool-vs-agent arguments again.
