Of course it is different. I wish I could turn off children as easily as I can turn off an agent. I could have slept better and had a better mood.

It's not a baby, just a piece of software. It generates a bunch of slop that is most useful when constrained with an output fact checker like a compiler.

Oh no! The next tokens from its output told me it didn't want to satisfy my request! Who cares?

Yes actually a person can be stopped easier than an uncontrolled AI swarm. There is no 'off' button when you don't know where the AI is.

Luckily people aren't buying your slop/tokens cope to trivialize AI anymore. They're waking up. Have you watched the news today? The cat is out of the bag.
