You misspelled "almost endearing".

It's a narrative conceit. The message is in the use of the word "terror".

You have to get to the end of the sentence and take it as a whole before you let your blood boil.

I deliberately copied the entire quote to preserve the full context. That juxtaposition is a tonal choice representative of the article's broader narrative, i.e. "agents are so powerful that they're potentially a dangerous new threat!".

I'm arguing against that hype. This is nothing new, everyone has been talking about LLMs being used to harass and spam the internet for years.
