The last thing I saw on it was a video saying that calling Devin an AI software engineer that does Upwork tasks is a lie based in what was shared in an earlier video.
"I broke down the Devin Upwork video frame by frame, and here I show what Devin was supposed to do, what it actually managed to do instead, and how bad a job of that it did.
On the whole that's not surprising given the current state of Generative AI, and I wouldn't be bothering to debunk it, except:
1) The company lied about what Devin could do in the video description, and
2) a lot of people uncritically parroted the lie all over the Internet, and
3) That caused a lot of non-technical people to believe that AI might replace programmers soon.
