Summary (96 words)

Despite bold predictions from industry leaders like Sam Altman, 2025 failed to become the "Year of the AI Agent." While experts anticipated AI systems joining the workforce to handle complex, multi-step tasks, the technology proved disappointing. Products like ChatGPT Agent struggled with basic real-world interactions, such as navigating website menus. Skeptics argue that underlying large language models are fundamentally incapable of delivering on these ambitious promises. Consequently, the author suggests moving away from speculative hype and "vibes" regarding AI’s future. Instead, 2026 should focus on addressing the real, present capabilities and tangible impacts of existing technologies.
