Why post this paper? It says nothing, it's a waste of people's time to read.

Even just the definition of an Agent (maybe imperfect) made it worthwhile for me.

I'm not sure it's even good though... the input doesn't need to come from a user. I have an "agent" which listens for an event in financial markets and then goes and does some stuff.

In practice the current usage of "agent" is just: a program which does a task and uses an LLM somewhere to help make a decision as to what to do and maybe uses an LLM to help do it.
