What Exactly IS an AI Agent? We Propose a Friendly, Non-Gatekeeping Definition

This isn’t another AI think-piece, it’s a full-on data brawl. Copilot is out here plagiarizing Rob’s pivot table crusade while the self-appointed nerd police try to lock down the definition of agentic AI. Meanwhile, thirty years of fantasy football become the unexpected proof that tuning beats buzzwords every single time.

What starts as a slip from Copilot turns into a bigger story about how AI really works. Off-the-shelf tools can sound impressive, but they collapse into clichés when they’re not tuned to the person using them. The difference isn’t just in efficiency, it’s in credibility. Get it right, and AI amplifies your voice. Get it wrong, and you sound like everyone else mailing it in.

Don’t settle for AI that sounds like everyone else. Listen in and hear what happens when tuned workflows collide with real-world stakes.
