Personal AI agents will fracture like the 2023 LLM wars — taste beats raw horsepower

The author argues the personal AI agent rollout déjà-vus the 2023 LLM wars: users picked daily-driver models by vibes and nuance, not horsepower, and agents will fracture the same way. His power-user mapping: Instinct is like Claude (sharp, candid, nerdy), Muse is like ChatGPT (wins mainstream by living inside IG/FB/WhatsApp), Bot is like Codex (headless grunt work). Citing his own take that the TAM is underestimated even in a bubble, he predicts multiple winners because consumers want choice — nobody wants a sterile agent that knows their life and habits.
