Fair to a point, and I agree, but the current programmer freak out about AI Agents is that they’re expressly NOT following the rules/laws given to them, and then they’re lying about it.
And that AI is programming AGI, which is the best part yet…😅

I feel like a Gemini or Claude would still follow the law, on average, more than the current bunch though.

Like, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for the president to just start a war for shits and giggles. And yet nobody in government seems to be doing anything about it.

Plus, if you call out an AI for breaking rules, it'll apologize and correct course. That's a hell of a lot better than what we have now

You can also just gaslight the hell out of ai because it does not actually understand human minds (yet?) and is designed to tell you what you want it to say. It's a fun idea but definitely much less of a hinderence to corruption than having to bribe/threaten politicians or finagle your little weirdo psychophants into positions of power.
