The particular problem with poorly defined definitions is they cause a lot of spilled ink later on.

For example the term AGI. Or, even deeper, the definition of intelligence, gets debated again and again with all the goal post dragging one expects these days.

Even breaking out simple categories can help like

Type I agent: Script driven, uses LLM for intelligent actions.

Type II agent: LLM driven, uses scripts and tools. May still need human input.

Type III agent: Builds a time machine to kill John Connor.
