You have already lost that bet. And, since I work in area that extensively deals with autonomous (stochastic) agents (but also e.g. programming language implementations and similar stuff) and, in my very humble opinion, I know a thing or two about how these things work, that's not the only reason why I say what I say. Not to mention the growing energy requirements of these systems in an already energy-strained environment, which totally undermine your naive expectations. Well, relying on LLMs and Gen "AI" for survival is a surefire way for Darwin Award nomination, if not outright win. But you do you.
