"12,000 AI agents" doesn't actually mean anything. It sounds like "McKinsey has spun up 12k employee-replacement robots" but that is not what they are saying, it's just what they are hoping you'll hear.

bot1127 is very confused to hear you say that and hopes engagement on a project would make you feel otherwise.

How about Microsoft calling something you can create with one click, even accidentally, in SharePoint an agent? youtu.be/hpeOjtcA3VY?...

It wouldn't even be impressive to make 12k agents as its likely 12 agents cloned 1000 times each. If you made an agent to be a financial analyst who makes charts and graphs(who would want to look at that output?), you would clone it. Not make 12k distinct agents, what would their differences be?

It means "McKinsey is planning to bill their clients as if each of those agents were an actual employee."
