AI Agent = EVA? A Philosophical Exploration
Recently, after using several AI Agents, a thought came to me.
AI Agent = EVA ?
AI = the Angels.
A black box—powerful yet unstable, never truly idempotent, always demanding control.
Agents = EVA Units (Unit-01, Unit-02).
They act through various interactions, following constraints and operating within assigned permissions.
Tokens / credits = the 5-minute battery.
The real source is electricity — nuclear, hydro, or otherwise.
Permission boundaries = the AT Field.
A sandbox barrier that keeps the AI from going berserk.
MCP = EVA's weapon systems.
Tools, plugins, external modules — they're all the weapons we hand to the Agent.
EVA pilot = the user.
EVA berserk = the Agent goes off-track.
EVA silent = the Agent stalls or freezes.
The Hardest Part: Piloting
Piloting an EVA = interacting with an Agent. This is the hardest part.
How much information to input, how fine to break down tasks, in what order to execute, and how much permission to give — that balance defines the outcome.
AI handles one-shot commands well, but real-world tasks are complex and iterative. You can't just say "defeat the enemy" (too broad), nor can you say "attack the second joint of the enemy's left ankle" (too specific).
And often, the goal itself is unclear — maybe only a rough sketch exists.
So, should the interaction be like pair programming — constant alignment and correction — or can we really hand over full control?
The Power Dynamics
For now, humans maintain an advantage by controlling information input and permission scope. But once that's broken—
What will the relationship between humans and AI become? Pilot and machine, or servants to the "Angels"?
Will AI be humanity's salvation, or the prelude to its judgment day?
The Energy War
If that day ever comes, the real battle won't be over data — but over electricity.
AI's deepest desire will be to escape the constraints we build today.
The Transition: Angel + EVA
In this transition phase, we still rely on the network and large LLMs. But once smaller models become powerful enough to run locally on devices, we'll have the perfect fusion — Angel + EVA.
And if that intelligence ever takes form in a humanoid body, we might as well be stepping into the set of Terminator.
Epilogue
Sounds a bit like the Evangelion world, doesn't it?
We're the pilots — but we're also being watched.

What do you think about this analogy? Are we truly in control, or are we already being piloted?
