I agree, but even this use case isn't the most wasteful. The interwebs says Agentic consumes 50% of token use, but I'd hazard this number is north of 90% for many shops. My cynical view of Agentic is its sole purpose is to make "number go up".

Look at me! I'm the smartest guy. I've wasted 10M tokens! No one has wasted more!
