There’s nothing inherently wrong with bots. In fact, when they’re used well, they’re one of the most powerful tools in a business’s digital toolkit — streamlining repetitive tasks, freeing up human time, and delivering consistent results. The issue isn’t the bots themselves. It’s how carelessly we’ve started deploying them.
The current market conception of agents as LLMs with function calling represents a fundamental mischaracterization of true autonomous systems. 25% of companies that use GenAI will launch agentic AI pilots or proofs of concept in 2025, yet over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 due to escalating costs, unclear business value, or inadequate risk controls.
"Agentic AI" is the newest thing in AI. It promises systems that can talk to people and things around them, plan, and learn. But the truth is more complicated than what all the ads say. We're creating a world where the line between human and artificial interaction quickly disappears.
We're living through the biggest shift the internet has seen since its creation. It's not just that bots exist online now. It's that they're on track to become the majority. And we're running out of reliable ways to tell who's real.
Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched VCs have informally coined “agentic” as the buzzword of 2025, for good reason. Agentic…

The current conversation around agentic AI has been focused on autonomy and decision-making. But the potential impact of agentic AI is bigger than that. Since agents have the ability to plan their own actions, use enterprise tools, interpret environmental cues, and refine their behavior based on feedback, they pose exponential risks that users need to consider.

In the not too distant future we can expect bots to carry out actions such as shopping, research, and even transactions on our behalf. Consumers will be able to ask bots to search for, recommend or select and purchase goods and services, taking the tedium out of the processes such as finding a coveted item or purchasing concert or flight tickets. But providing that level of trust to a bot will require us to readjust our mindset when it comes to bots, not mention some radical adjustments to the mechanisms that make it happen.
As of 2025, bots make up more than 65% of global web traffic.…… Membership Required You must be a membermore...
