   It's all very glitzy, but I'm failing to understand how "One prompt in. One result out." is of any importance.

   This and other recent AI hype-fests all seem to be obsessed with making agents do more work unattended.

   But surely in the real world, anyone who's got a real product to make is going to want to steer what's happening. It's ridiculous to think that anyone with a deadline would write a prompt so perfect that they walk away for 4 days and come back to find the finished product ready to ship.

   If you really can write a prompt so complete and perfect that it needs nothing further, then any regular harness could probably also do the job. But if like normal people you need to try something, think about it, iterate, and repeat.. then you also just need a regular harness.

      The Venn Diagram of people building the AI hype-fests and people building a real product is just two circles
