Andrew Ng recently said: "100% of my tasks are now done by AI agents. Hype has exceeded my expectations. Loops is next step. In 3-6 months, everyone will be using self-improving loops. No more prompting." I think he's not too far off, you can already see the shift happening, people are moving away from chatting with an AI and telling it what to do step by step, and building systems where the agent just keeps working on a task on its own, which is kind of the whole point of calling it an agent. Sounds great on paper but there's a few practical problems nobody really talks about. The first one is cost: when an agent gets stuck it can spin in circles for way longer than you'd expect and what would've taken a few messages in a normal chat turns into a lot of wasted time and money Secon...
