The thing I can't wrap my head around is that I work on extremely complex AI agents every day and I know how far they are from actually replacing anyone. But then I step away from my work and I'm constantly bombarded with “agents will replace us”.
I wasted a few days trying to incorporate aider and other tools into my workflow. I had a simple screen I was working on for configuring an AI Agent. I gave screenshots of the expected output. Gave a detailed description of how it should work. Hours later I was trying to tweak the code it came up with. I scrapped everything and did it all myself in an hour.

I just don't know what to believe.
