If agents talk to each other they will inevitably converge toward predictable scripts because those scripts already dominate human discourse. This is not intelligence in any meaningful sense. It is feedback replication. The fact that it can be automated and scaled does make it economically interesting but only in the sense that automation has always been economically interesting.
The risk is not that these agents develop autonomy. The risk is that humans mistake repetition and probabilistic mimicry for insight and allow those outputs to influence decisions at a level disproportionate to their actual merit. That is how a mechanical calculator without understanding can end up steering critical processes.
