Ask HN: Why are we humans still prompting to make Agents better?

2•shubhamintech•1h ago
Often times I think, why aren't we using more and more agents to often improve themselves. Surely they're smarter than most of us. What do you think is stopping them?

A bunch of companies have raised insane amount of capital as well for this, but it's still not productised/generally accessible?

Sort of baffles me.

They are, in fact, NOT smarter. They have more vast more knowledge, but that is different from being smart or wise.

shubhamintech•1h ago
If that's the case, how does one make them smarter for their specific use case?

I'd like to believe that vast knowledge is still more than what I have in my mind?
