I work as a UX/UI consultant at a small web development company. Most people in my company used AI for coding assistance but weren't evangelical about it for the better part of the last 4 years.
Recently they're going all in on agentic AI with seemingly no questions that this is 'the future' and we all need to get on board. To me agentic AI always read like a desperate last attempt from Anthropic and OpenAI to find a enterprise user base to extort before their respective IPOs, or implosion, whichever comes first.
What real world use cases are there for this? Everything we've built internally that I've seen has been a proof of concept and some hypothetical solution we're supposed to sell to people.
More importantly I don't see how the switch to token based pricing, on top of the increased token burn of new models is going to make anyone want to pay for this.
