I think these are reasonable questions but it assumes that everything is actually a black box instead of being treated as such.

Despite what the headlines say, these systems aren’t inscrutable.

We know how these things work and can build around and within and change parameters and activation functions etc…and actually use experience and science and guidance.

However those are not technical problems those are organizational social and quite frankly resource allocation problems.

I said the opposite of what your comment is replying to.

> but effective agentic systems form when you first erase your preconceived notions of how intelligence works and actually study this non-human intelligence and find new ways to apply it.

There's no reason you can't make good use of them and learn how to do it more reliably and predictably, it's just chasing those gains through a human intelligence-like model because they use human language leads to more false starts and local maxima than trying to understand stand them as their owb systems.

I don't think it should even be a particularly contentious point: we humans think differently based on the languages we learn and grew up with, what would you expect when you remove the entire common denominator of a human brain?
