Given the shift in focus from back and forth interaction with the AI to giving it a command then waiting as it reads a series self-generated inputs and outputs, I feel like we're at that inflection point - the prompts might appear to be getting smarter because it can do more, but we're just hiding that the "more" it's doing is having a long, hidden conversation that takes a bunch more time and a bunch more compute. This whole "agentic" thing is just enabling the CPU to spin longer.
