Aside: I like that essay but wish it had a different name. Part of “tool AI” (on my conception) is that it doesn’t autonomously want, but agent AI does. A title like “End-users want tool AIs to be agent AIs” admittedly doesn’t have the same ring, but it is more accurate to my understanding of the claims.
Said something similar in shortform a while back.
Or, even more briefly: “tool AIs want to be agent AIs”.
