I blame this on too many people having a reading of DS9 that just says "See! You thought the federation was all rainbows & Talarian puppies, but there was messy, GRITTY stuff there, man!"

I am (in general) concerned that storytellers in my cluster are taking old, relatively idealistic stories and reframing them as tarnished and nasty under the impression that makes them more meaningful, when impossible dreams have never been more precious in my lifetime.

I first heard it used to describe generative AI that would take actions on a user's behalf (as an "agent" hence "agentic"). But I've also heard it creeping into business speak more broadly to describe work that humans do. Truly bonkers stuff.
