I like hearing this balanced opinion. Generative AI is awesome, but demos around it should be honest and transparent. Looking at you Google as well. I don't know if I can trust a single Google demo for a while. They must do 0 edit, cut demos for quite some time in order to build that trust. Also this fake happy, go lucky, childlike communication after the edits/cuts is cringey. Unless you are doing it real-time like OpenAI did.

Based on the slogans said around Devin I decided to ignore it completely - so while I couldn't say it's bs for sure, I did feel the slogans are embellished and too good to be true.

Also for some reason I don't like the name for it at all. I don't understand how it could be so poorly chosen. Not that names can always give insight, but this name somehow was so off putting to me.
