AI agent technology likely isn’t ready for the kind of high-stakes autonomous business work Microsoft is promising.

It's unbelievable to me that tech leaders lack the insight to recognize this.

So how to explain the current AI mania being widely promoted?

I think the best fit explanation is simple con artistry. They know the product is fundamentally flawed and won't perform as being promised. But the money to be made selling the fantasy is simply too good to ignore.

In other words --- pure greed. Over the longer term, this is a weakness, not a strength.
