On October 29, 2026, Ben Tossell, author of Ben's Bites, published a post reflecting on his predicament of being overwhelmed by AI tools and multi-agent systems and repeatedly overturning his direction, and proposed that the constant pressure brought by AI tools and agents leaves people unable to cope. He announced that for the next 30 days he would use agents only for things he finds interesting, would not adopt new tools that do not solve real pain points, would not summarize long articles, and would not do things for the sake of making money. In the same article, he also mentioned that Google released Gemini 4 Carbon and the world model Genie 4, and that in one test, experts followed the agents' random choices in 86% of cases. At present, this judgment appears only in his own post, and there are no subsequent developments or facts.
