You’re absolutely right !

While I agree with the points he’s raising let me play devils advocate.

There’s a lot more code being written now that’s not counted in these statistics. A friend of mine vibe coded a writing tool for himself entirely using Gemini canvas.

I regularly vibe code little analyses or scripts in ChatGPT which would have required writing code earlier.

None of these are counted in these statistics.

And yes AI isn’t quite good enough to super charge app creation end to end. Claude has only been good for a few months. That’s hardly enough time for adoption !

This would be like analysing the impact of languages like Perl or Python on software 3 months after their release.

Nope this is a preview of their coming agentic product. Could be something like a browser + deep research + computer use agent for consumer use cases.

Mods - earlier submission had a rendering bug and I had to create a new version hence the resubmission.

Any chance that “reasoning” can fix this

I use generative AI every day.

Atomic energy has both good and bad uses. People being tired of atomic energy has held back GDP growth and is literally deindustrialising Germany.

AI isn’t 3D TV

That’s always the case with any new technology. Tech isn’t going to make everyone happy or achieve world peace.

It’s writing most of my code now. Even if it’s existing code you can feed in the 1-2 files in question and iterate on them. Works quite well as long as you break it down a bit.

It’s not gas lighting the latest versions of GPT, Claude, Lama have gotten quite good

I’m tired of farming - Someone in 5000 BC

I’m tired of electricity - Someone in 1905

I’m tired of consumer apps - Someone in 2020

The revolution will happen regardless. If you participate you can shape it in the direction you believe in.

AI is the most innovative thing to happen in software in a long time.

And personally AI is FUN. It sparks joy to code using AI. I don’t need anyone else’s opinion I’m having a blast. It’s a bit like rails for me in that sense.

This is HACKER news. We do things because it’s fun.

I can tackle problems outside of my comfort zone and make it happen.

If all you want to do is ship more 2020s era B2B SaaS till kingdom come no one is stopping you :P

It’s not reproducing exact strings in the training data but patterns and patterns of patterns.

Next token prediction is more intelligent than it sounds
