I'm so tired of hype cycles in tech, man. LLMs are articulate and knowledgeable but not particularly smart. They can regurgitate Stack Overflow snippets in a context-aware way, and sure, that can be handy in a "code assistant," but it's not enough to build anything on its own. Nothing I've seen suggests real autonomy is anywhere on the horizon. Exponential advancement is always just around the corner, but it never materializes. Little grows exponentially in practice.

"AI is the future" isn't a sincere prediction, coming from the mouth of an industry stakeholder. They're just breathlessly hyping their own product.
