The way it communicates suggests to me it's got some 'prompt engineer bro' garbage system prompt going on there.

    Of course, that's how all of these agents work. At best they're a bunch of prompts tied together with scripts to perform actions. At worst they're just interacting directly with software without any scripts or sandboxing.

    There is no AI.
