"AI Agent", as of April 2025, is a largely meaningless term that serves as a descriptive abstraction for people who aren't so familiar with coding. Debating its definition is pointless.

AI Agent is whatever you want it to be if it helps you design or explain something.

    It's somewhat like “metaverse”, which to this day nobody can explain precisely, and yet we spent two years talking about it as it was the future. Meaningless and subject of countless discussions. There's no contradiction; it is possible.

      As a counterpoint, there also still isn't any precise definition of what "life" is, but it's nevertheless an extremely useful concept.
