Hooking up Gemini 3.1 Pro or Claude Sonnet 4.6 to a Python script and giving it a web search tool isn’t an autonomous agent; it’s just a basic automation pipeline with a stochastic parrot attached. True agentic behavior requires actual self-correction, long-term planning, and independent execution without constant human hand-holding or hardcoded fallback logic. We are watering down the term “Agent” at lightning speed just to market basic SaaS wrappers, and it’s making it impossible to find genuinely innovative, multi-agent architectures through all the promotional noise. We need to stop slapping the “Agentic” label on simple API calls before the word loses all technical meaning. submitted by /u/netcommah
