Just that an actual rubber duck doesn’t do anything. You solve the problem you have by talking, and in doing so, thinking, to come up with a solution, an idea, or gain better understanding.
After that you either implement something yourself or have learned something.
With an LLM you offload all of that, the only thing you still do is tell it what the problem is. The agentic duck does the rest and you look at the output.
Even if you have to argue, you argue without having gone through the steps to gain anything yourself.
