Exactly. We can sure try, but I would bet against it working well. It might work a little, maybe it would be worth it, but the underlying assumption is that AI can have good judgement and so far that is mostly an illusion and it's closer to random. Sometimes it makes good decisions, sometimes not, and that is a huge problem that keeps it from being good agentic systems. They still need the harness and all this other traditional code around it to get it to work.

Totally agree, they need a strong harness to make them work
