My current work is using LLMs in fintech, but my background is in entertainment and has been where most of side projects have gone. LLMs are great generative tools, but Agents are reasoning tools. They implicitly execute an algorithm and interpret the results. An agent will never reason as well as imperative code.

I think this is why agents appear suited to entertainment, but this is almost a different topic that I could rant about for hours. There’s a whimsical element of randomness in what the character may do that the programmer does not need to explicitly design. However, I think that whimsy has limited reach, so while the developer may be more amused by their own creation it has limited appeal.
