The Truth about AI agents

I wrote a Python script a few weeks ago to get an AI agent to play a coach and another AI agent to play a coachee. The way they bounced off one another was a great insight on what refinements would enable AI to facilitate more resonant, higher fidelity coaching as opposed to a conversation driven by relevance and people's preferences.

We begin by discussing the loss of agency in the age of AI—people using AI to flirt for them, solve arguments, even write birthday cards, and slowly losing trust in their own judgement. Gurwinder describes AI as a “personality amplifier”, giving more agency to those who already have it, but taking more from those who already lack it.
