I thought the very nature of technology and progress is to allow humans to be lazy.
We build technology to reduce our own burdens.
And most of the AI marketing is revolving around giving you the luxury to think less and do more for a price.

I find this highly dubious. All the names (agents, assistants, suggestion makers) are synonyms. They are just pieces of text that come off a screen, for inputs given to them. I am highly skeptical of intelligence emanating from them, mainly because real innovation and insight seems to come from a brains ability to devolve something into its abstract self, mush it around other abstract ideas and find a link in the abstract level, that is then applied to the problem at hand. (Andrew Wiles solution to the Euler's problem comes to my mind)
Even problem solving ability or the ability to plan or the ability to anticipate, is not part of the regular content that you find on the internet.
For example, I may read about something a farmer does in Arkansas, and then relate it to something completely different, in a different domain.
Nowhere in the content on internet would I find those two things together.
Most of the agentic systems, the MCP stuff, seems to be a pseudo-deterministic system that is harder to debug.

So yeah, intellectual laziness.
