Sure. I never said guns were a bad metaphor. I meant a worm was more comparable than an “entity” or “digital slave”. Agentic AI is putting the gun on a robot dog, taking the safety off and handing over fire control to an algorithm. If you extend it that far though guns are just any software. Or perhaps computers are guns and software programs are bullets, with LLMs manufacturing bullets from tokens.
