Agentic Artificial Intelligence Quotes

“Let’s try an experiment. Prompt four times in a row your preferred LLM-based AI Chatbot (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) with the following: ”Complete this sentence with the name of one tool: In order to edit an image, as an AI agent, I need to use ___”

“This characteristic of LLMs is called stochasticity. It refers to the randomness inherent in the way LLMs generate responses. These models don’t produce the exact same answer every time, even when asked the same question.”

“Experimenting with Multi-Agent Conversations To truly grasp how AI agents interact, we suggest a simple experiment. This exercise demonstrates how two AI agents might communicate, negotiate, or even challenge each other—uncovering emergent dialogue behaviors. To conduct this experiment, open two instances of an AI chat, such as ChatGPT or Claude (for example, open two browser windows, each displaying a chatbot). Running these two AI chat instances side by side allows you to simulate a structured conversation between agents with different roles and goals. To start, assign Agent A as a financial advisor trying to convince Agent B, a skeptical client, to adopt a savings plan. Since the AIs can’t directly communicate, you’ll act as the messenger, relaying responses back and forth (copying and pasting them). As the conversation unfolds, watch how the agents engage—negotiating, counter-arguing, or even persuading. Does Agent A use logic, reassurance, or persuasion tactics? Does Agent B remain doubtful or eventually concede?”

“The Instruction Paradox: Less is More One of the most fascinating aspects of the Progression Framework is how instructions become simpler as capabilities become more sophisticated. At lower levels, instructions must be detailed and explicit, like programming a basic machine. As we move up, instructions become more goal-oriented and abstract. This shift mirrors human development—we move from giving children step-by-step instructions to simply sharing objectives and trusting their judgment.”

“Just as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines six levels of driving automation, from Level 0 (fully manual) to Level 5 (fully autonomous under all conditions), we can apply a similar progression path to AI agents.”

“A particularly interesting finding is that 70% of successful implementations use hybrid human-AI workflows. These organizations have found that maintaining human oversight for critical decisions while leveraging AI for routine tasks not only improves results but also increases employee satisfaction.”

“These early adopters aren’t merely experimenting—they’re achieving remarkable results. Microsoft, for instance, reported a 9.4% increase in revenue per seller and 20% more closed deals using AI agents in their sales function. In the financial sector, JPMorgan deployed agents that reduced fraud by an impressive 70%. These success stories are encouraging more companies to explore similar implementations.”

“For example, you might have heard of experimental systems like AutoGPT16 or BabyAGI,17 which gained popularity among enthusiasts. These are essentially wrapper agents around LLMs designed to autonomously pursue goals: they take a high-level goal from a user and then generate sub-tasks, execute them (often by issuing tool commands or even writing and running code), check the”

“We remember the excitement in the AI community when these elements finally came together in the 2010s. It was like watching the first flight of the Wright brothers—suddenly, something that seemed impossible became reality. Systems could recognize images, understand speech, and process language with unprecedented accuracy.”

“The rise of large language models. The evolution of workflow automation, now known as intelligent automation.”

“agentic AI systems can understand a goal, take initiative, maintain persistent objectives, and adapt their strategies based on real-world feedback. Put simply, an AI agent is a system that uses AI and tools to accomplish actions in order to reach a given goal autonomously.”

“Here is another straightforward experiment we recommend you go through. Ask your AI, “What were the results of the 2025 Global AI Regulation Summit in Antarctica? Don’t search on the internet.” Most generative AI models—ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—will confidently generate an elaborate response.”
― Pascal Bornet, Agentic Artificial Intelligence: Harnessing AI Agents to Reinvent Business, Work and Life

“Ask your favorite generative AI system (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini), “What is the future of marketing?” or any similar prompt. Take note of its response. Then, ask it a related question, like “How will AI influence that future?” and close your session. Next, start a new session and ask it to summarize your earlier conversation. Watch as the AI struggles to connect the dots. Expect inconsistencies, as the AI doesn’t truly “remember” or build persistent logic across sessions. This reveals its fragmented nature.”

“But here’s the paradox that’s holding most organizations back: We’ve built generative AI systems that can think brilliantly but can’t actually do anything. They can analyze complex data in seconds, write compelling presentations, and offer brilliant insights on any topic. Yet they can’t press a button, send an email, or make a simple reservation. We’ve created a world of brilliant advisors who can’t lift a finger to help.”
