I'd recommend looking for some beginner and introductory resources into Artificial Intelligence, especially before you try to comment on a topic that you are not familiar with. It helps to at least understand the definition of the word you want to "reclaim".
That's convenient for you!
OpenClaw is actually extremely simple and thin. It works by just prompting the LLM in a continuous loop while providing it tool calls that are standard to LLMs. There isn't anything more to it than that, besides customizing the prompt and tools that are available. The LLM is the agentic AI that makes the decisions and calls the tools. I guess next you'll continue to try to save face with another non-point like "the computer, not the LLM, is the one that does things when the tools are called"
I'm not sure a prompt loop sufficiently grants LLM what I would consider "agency" when the relevant discussion is about whether an LLM has agency in the way humans do (i.e. human-like intelligence, a mind, personhood, etc.).
telling me to look at beginner resources on AI isn't a helpful response when I've asked how to have better explained to OP that "AI" isn't a human-like intelligence, it ignores my question and then puts me down by implying I don't have the first clue what I'm talking about.
Your tone is rude and unhelpful, I'm done talking to you. 🫤
If your goal is really to help correct misinformation (and not just to put people down), you might need to adjust how you approach conversation with others in the future.
Huh? I don't use OpenClaw.
Well, it does allows the LLM to continuously gather information, make plans and decisions, and perform real-world actions, on its own.
I think you should provide your definition of "agency", because your definition must be very different from everyone else.
Is proven wrong -> "I'm done talking to you" 😂 someone wasn't as happy to be wrong as they claimed
Well you tried, but actually I'm still correct.
Yeah, if your argument is really "OpenClaw is not agentic AI", here you go: 🤡
And the funniest part is that yes, OpenClaw of course begins to act on its own when you spin it up, without any user prompting... you thought you had me there 😂
Perhaps you should have a basic understanding about what you are commenting on, before you comment? Especially if you're going to make personal attacks over it. Those really backfired on you now lol
