I get why you feel this way. There's this weird thing happening online where AI hype accounts dog pile on any hint of the beginning of a trend and will beat on it until the next trend comes around. They will make up claims and create endless content in the format that they discovered is effective.

This makes it really difficult to understand what's real and what's hype. It feels like everything that's trending is BS because of the obvious boosting and exaggeration.

But there are real, noteworthy things that are happening and they get mixed in with a lot of BS.

Coding agents being massive amplifiers of skilled developers productivity is not hype. There are countless 10s or maybe 100s of thousands of developers who have built things that they simply wouldn't have been able to do a few years ago. It doesn't matter what that MITRE study says if you've built something with your own hands that wouldn't have existed without AI.

Bringing the same coding agents to regular people on WhatsApp and Telegram, and connecting it with enough apps and data sources so it can do valuable work is a massive unlock of value. There is massive hype around it, but underneath all the hype there is something big and real. I am getting immense value from this. I recommend that you put your skepticism on hold for a short time and give it a real try. Real is key. If you go in trying to prove your skepticism right, you will be able to do that. But if you approach with curiosity you'll undoubtedly discover ways you can start extracting value from it
