> you keep poking

This is waving over engineering an agent with tools, harness, prompts, and loops. The models are still just next token predictors and everything, including predicting more than 1 token, is the result of outside "poking"

LLMs can't and don't "want" anything. If you don't specify a task even the smartest one will just ask you what you want and if you tell it to be creative, you'll get mundane slop.
