Human agents vs AI agents share one word — one poster proposes renaming the latter 'aigent'
aaraalto · x · 2026-10-24
A lighthearted coinage from aaraalto: "human agents" existed long before AI agents, yet both share the exact same spelling — and he wonders if they should be distinguished. His proposal: if it's a person it's an agent, but if it's an AI it's an "aigent." He admits it may be a dumb idea, but it's a fun jab at how overloaded the word "agent" has become.
