Agents in 2025: Hype or the Future of Work?

[@matthewdevaney3912]

I enjoyed this balanced discussion. Yes, there is a lot of hype out there. And much to come in the future. But there are a good many things we can do today.

Hello Lisa ! Just discovered your KZbin channel today and this is great ! Thank you, I have a few questions, and sorry if you have already answered it somewhere: - All agents seams to be very linked to the user that created them, can we easly "Transfert" the ownership of an agent from an employee to an other employee ? - Is it possible to use service account to create agent so that it is not linked to somebody ? - We saw that the email that your agent send has been send by taking your Exchange Online account, is it possible to use a service account for that ? So that it will be a "Nameless" company user rather than an existing person - We can imagine that Agent use standard OAuth 2.0 authentication, does this means that I will have to log in every 90 days in my agent to refresh the authentification token ? - (This one is a stupid question) In the trigger option "When an email to" what email address can you put in ? Only yours ? Can you put your CEO email ? (lol), a service account ? a distribution list ?

So life is going to become increasingly impersonal. A world run by bot agents. No human interaction. Just spock like logic. A cold lifeless world where we all die of loneliness.

Hype, overhype probably, like most of AI tools. Companies will rush and inflate and burn their budgets just to realize that it was all waste of time and effort, and that they're left out with huge tech dept to be paid. AI is a bubble, tech companies are constantly advertising it as revolution bullet train that won't stop and you either join or die. that in of it self should be a red flag to any company. if it is advertised like that, everywhere even in your damn fridge, then someone is trying to milk you. there is hardly ever a use case for it, or at leas a real use case that can have ROI. I did a couple of AI use case Analize for multiple companies, and they age eager to burn a stock of cash, but to find really good and useful case for it, that would also meet all security measures and will payout is like finding unicorn. To much hype, to many startups offering solutions for all your problems. I know that high managers love to buy this stories but there is simply no demand for it from workers it is forced by managers who ignore all the red flags around them. Believe me when I say it will burst, and burst it must and so man will freakout and loose their jobs.

@@VurtAddicted No, AI hype is more like DotCom bubble around the year 2000. Nobody denies AI is useful and will stay. But is is overhyped now.
