maybe I'm just rephrasing you here, but tool AI and a company using it combine into an agent AI (albeit with a longer feedback loop)
no such thing as a real-world boxed AI; if you make maps that people use, you can expect them to impact the territory
so it seems less a choice between tool and agent, and more one between crippled ill-understood agent and better-understood agent
reason I'm so excited about this: a *very* similar thing crops up in a philosophy of magic(k) I'm collecting material for

where science is descriptive, concerned with models, while magic is about how those models form the worldhttps://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/784495477173678080 …
'(·) added,
the scientific method works in a space where your predictions don't affect the outcome. that breaks down in the 'softer' sciences
which is why it wasn't physics which came up with the tinkerbell effect or the thomas theorem
a "magical method" as opposed to the scientific method would embrace its effects. more general, but less elegant & harder to manage
and lo behold, it is the same division I see between tool AIs (maps embedded in processes) and agent AIs (processes)
It's hard to talk about magic without sounding like a kook. Yet I think this is an interesting/fruitful way to go down
