Please, take your time. Re-read (well, actually read it for the first time I guess) and tell me where I said ‘agentic’ was a fake word.
Your own citation did not have agentic in it. Agent <> agentic.
And you’re clinging hard to singular notion that because a mouth-sound with the same letter order existed nearly 200 years ago, it means the same thing as the modern usage
No, I'm stating the plain, undeniable fact that this word has been used to describe a specific type of software program (which, for the record, has nothing to do with AI besides that sometimes AI programs are an example of it) for over 50 years, and is not a new term.
I've already provided multiple examples of its use that predate LLMs. Your attempt at trolling is thwarted.
“Hey, uhh your own chosen citation doesn’t support your argument” is trolling now? God I hope you don’t work in education or research 😂
You defending ‘words mean things’ whilst re-re-redefining trolling to mean ‘any kind of feedback I don’t like’ is precious
Sorry, but facts (which I've provided with sources) prove that I'm correct. The discussion ends there, as there is nothing else to say about it and nothing that you can refute. Agentic software has existed since the 70s.
Blocked, go troll someone else now. Buh-bye!
