Agentrification and the Agentrification Index

A satirical white paper coining the term 'Agentrification' — the digital equivalent of gentrification, where autonomous AI agents displace authentic human activity across online communities, workplaces, and codebases. It introduces the Agentrification Index (AIx), a mock diagnostic tool with three pillars (Saturation, Friction, Fidelity) across sociological, professional, and algorithmic dimensions. Scoring zones range from 'Legacy' (human-centric) to 'Agentrified' (fully agent-dominated). The piece humorously critiques over-reliance on AI agents, dependency bloat, skill atrophy, and the irony of humans becoming custodians of systems that replaced their actual jobs.
