This Hacker News thread is already a great example of what always happens when this topic comes up: I count SIX definitions of agents in this thread already, each slightly different from each other but each expressed with a confidence that suggests that the author thinks their definition is clearly the correct one.
(The OP did that as well.)
Hey, OP here. I’ve really enjoyed your work on AI agent definitions. So thank you for reading!
I don’t actually claim that ours is necessarily the correct answer for everyone – it’s our own. But I believe it is at least _an_ objective definition. Other definitions I’ve seen have been murky and subject to interpretation.
