  • Technological speak isn’t colloquial every day language. Other industries simply aren’t taken to forcing industry terms into the general populace.

    Use of the word agentic in everyday language is novel and marketing intentful.

    Just because I say with peers that a leaf is cordate, sinistrose, and estipulate with a hirsute abaxial surface doesn’t mean anyone in science journalism will use those terms. They use colloquial language like the leaf is heart-shaped, spirally arranged, without a stem, and with small hairs on the underside because these terms make broad sense to the public.

    I never said agent is a new word, but thanks for telling me I’m wrong.

    Assistive, aid, helpful are all words that could be used in place of the word agentic. It feels inauthentic and fluffy because it is.

    I’ve never heard of agentic before because it is novel word marketing bullshit. Like IoT before it and many others, words existed to explain the technology in plain language but industry gargon takes hold and isn’t interrogated for being cold, non-inclusive and confusing.
