I think it’s selection bias. Marketers are going to post the proof-of-concept that it works (if only in a small isolated scenario), algorithms are going to emphasize the more amazing “toys” this produces, over the boring rebuttals. In the end, you will see hundreds of examples where it worked and not the the thousands where it produced buggy or dangerous code.

That attention does not map well to the important, hard, and more valuable parts of development.

Anecdotally, I still find it to be useful and it’s improving. I do think it’s going to be an huge impact in time.

Hype is part of the industry and it can be distracting to users, developers, and investors BUT it can also be useful (and I don’t know how to replace it) so, we live with it.
