> my objection is that at in its current state people don't think out of the box and propose using the current infrastructure to delegate human functions instead of re-imagining the new world that is possible when working together with AI.
Ah, my bad I missread your initial post.
If I now understand what you're saying, I think there's a paralel in manufacturing, where "custom made bots" on assembly line will win against "humanoid bots" every time. The problem there is that you have to first build the custom-made bots, and they only work on that one task. While a "humanoid" bot can, in theory, do more general things with tools already in place for humans.
I think specialised APIs and stuff will eventually be built for AI agents. But in the meantime everyone wants to be first to market, and the "human facing" UI/UX is all we have. So they're trying to make it work with what's available.
Right, IMHO the amazing thing about AI is that it can actually build the custom made bot from scratch every time you need it.
They just need to go a few steps back and evaluate why this system was needed in first place. Awful lot of software and all kinds of interfaces exists only to accommodate humans who need to be in the loop when working with machines and are not actually needed if you are taking the human out of the loop. You can be taking humans off the loop for legit or nefarious reasons and when its legit there's usually opportunity to coordinate with the other machines to remove the people specific parts to make things more efficient.
In programming this is even more evident, i.e %100 of the programming libraries exist only to make developers do stuff easier or prevent re-inventing the wheel.
The part about making the developers life easier is quite substential and can be removed by making the AI write the exact code needed to accomplish the task without bothering with human developer accommodations like libraries to separate the code into modules for maintainability.
