It mentions that a chatbot generated AGENTS.md does nothing, which makes sense.

I added one when it kept making the same mistake and using things from the wrong library version making compiler errors, adding in the common mistakes pre emptively.

My agents.md usually becomes do’s don’ts and shortcuts to get to where it needs to be in the code so it doesn’t waste time and context.

That's what I took away from this as well. Headline is clickbait but at the end of the day there are uses for these instructions.
