nah such narratives are mostly pushed by Ai companies (it is obvious they need to sell it as business tool not personal buddy). Of course some managers/companies are buying into this narrative, and it is also understandable bc idea sounds like panacea especially if sell it further to investors :) and we see whole circle of snake oil sales
Someone's personal experience is an AI company narrative now?
it always was. look at people trying to automate everything with help of ai bots . and before ai companies started pushing this none of these folks spoke about it ot tried to reach same goal with iftt or other tools that are here for decades.
I don't think you understand the words you're using...
Someone said "this is how I managed to make this work," provided detailed explanations of it, and you're dismissing it as propaganda rather than testing it for yourself. That is an unbelievably stupid stance.
you are escalating it too fast taking it to personal level. I feel you are close to bring moms to this. So relax , let your ai buddy play with your parts. This chat is over.
Sorry you can't handle someone telling you that what you're saying doesn't make sense. Hopefully someday you'll grow up enough to have your words challenged.
Edit: Oh, lemmy.ml. That explains everything.
I don't think a lot of people have a feel for the velocity of change... this time last year I evaluated the tools and they still felt like a waste of time for me. I looked again in August 2025 and things were... different. Not great, but you could see the potential, and the velocity of change. When Claude 4.6 dropped - whoa... not just code, it has been helping me draft plans for a new building (personal use) - I need to submit some paperwork to the county, they just hit me with a requirement for architectural elevation drawings, Claude is chewing on that problem for me right now, working from basic information about the roofline and a 2D floorplan. Oop - and it's done, first pass took maybe 20 minutes, aaand... it's not too bad, side elevations are quite good, I just need to remind it about the 6" roof overhangs. Front and rear are a little more funky looking, I'm guessing these will be ready after another couple of rounds of prompts, maybe 1 hour in total, as opposed to hiring an architect for the permit application... (now, will the county push back because I didn't hire an architect? I sincerely hope not, they said photos or drawings - how am I supposed to get photos of a building that hasn't been built yet?)
Update: 4 hours of refinement later, I have 4 elevation drawings ready to submit... it would have taken 4 hours to select and engage an architect and meet with them to describe the project and collect their work - and that would have been spread over a week or more, instead of done in one evening.
Some people do stuff the ai is good for, simple tasks that have been done a lot online already.
I hate ai for coding, AI cannot work for me. I would never trust it to do anything
It's not a "narrative"; it's their experience. I don't have the same experience, but do have experience of myself and colleagues using LLM agents effectively and doing more work reviewing their output than writing lines of code. Some colleagues are pretty much AI boosters, but most are very aware of its limitations.
