Having an intern is supposed to be about talent development. It's a way to simultaneously recruit, train, vet and build loyalty with future employees.

Using interns just as a source of cheap labour is exploiting interns!

Calling this "AI interns" is like saying "this is sub-par and neglects important aspects of your business".

> this is sub-par and neglects important aspects of your business

But that is exactly the right way to think about it. If you have an army of sub-par workers that aren't going to think deeply about their value to your business, but are really cheap (relative to human labor) - how do you make effective use of them? Thinking about AI agents as being high-competence and able to learn your intent is the wrong model at this point. Though they can be high-competence in very specific narrow niches.

This specifically, and llms in general, remind me how apt it is that robot is the slavic word for slave

[bamitsmanas]

That's fair, is there another framing that might better communicate that people can delegate their tasks to kairos and it would go out and do it for them?

If they possess few of the attributes the word "intern" implies maybe they're just workers?

with this logic anything below founding engineer level is "sub-par and neglects important aspects"
