Are we using AI agents wrong? Reddit debates delegation vs chatbot use
Party-Breakfast-3606 · reddit · 2026-11-15
A Reddit developer argues that most AI discourse fixates on which model is better, which subscription is worth it, and which prompts work best, while missing the bigger question: are we actually delegating complete tasks to AI, or just using it as a chatbot? Asking AI to write a function vs. asking it to investigate a feature, implement it, test it, and report back are vastly different. The thread invites developers to share the most complex task they've successfully delegated to an AI agent.
