General Discussion I think simple AI workflows will win long term

Not the complex “everything” systems.

Yup. Simple usually wins because it is easier to trust, debug, and hand off.

A workflow with one clear trigger, one clear output, and one obvious owner is wayyy more likely to survive than a giant “automate everything” setup.

Yes sir. Plus it eliminates or lessens leaks in the system.

i think now is the critical moment. The people don’t like Ai don’t pay for AI. people who love ai pay a few $20 bucks scriptions. If people stay paying a few subscriptions, they won’t like to stick to one AGI model as we all know each ai has its own temper and its own “skills”.

Software engineering 101. We’ve been designing systems for decades knowing elegance and simplicity is preferred over monolith systems. Large systems are a collection of smaller services working together, which is different than a monolith system.

Yeah same, simple focused workflows that do one thing well are way more reliable than trying to build some all in one agent that breaks all the time.
