AI agents promise equal access, but most still feel built for technical people

AI agents are supposed to make work more accessible, but many of them still feel like they are designed for people who already know how to work with complex tools. Giving everyone access to the same model does not mean much if the real advantage still belongs to people who are comfortable translating messy work into instructions a machine can follow, especially when the system breaks or gives an answer that looks right but is not. The “AI democratizes work” argument only holds if ordinary people can turn AI into useful output without first learning to think like engineers. If agents are truly going to support tech equality, they should reduce the technical burden instead of quietly moving it onto the user. Are AI agents becoming easier for normal workers, or are we just creating a new kind of power user?
