Is "agentic" even a real word?
There's no committee that approves words being added to the English language. Anything that's understood by the group that uses it is a real word. We make up new words and change the definition of old ones all the time; dictionaries are descriptive, not proscriptive.
That doesn't stop the concept of 'agentic AI' being a pile of bullshit being peddled by snake-oil salesmen, of course, but you don't have to be Shakespeare to be permitted to make up new words.
The question should be more understood as "was the word agentic even in use prior to AI-people slapping it on everything?" It was a genuine question, I have never heard it until it being used in this context.
