I understand the idea. My position is that this is a largely speculative claim from people who have not spent much time seriously applying agents for spreadsheet or video editing work (since those agents didn’t even exist until now).
“Getting something almost right, no matter how close, can often be worse than not doing it at all” - true with human employees and with low quality agents, but not necessarily true with expert humans using high quality agents. The cost to throw a job at an agent and see what happens is so small that in actual practice, the experience is very different and most people don’t realize this yet.
