Yesterday I tested Windsurf. Looked the docs and examples. Completed the demo "course" on deeplearning.ai. Gave it the task to build a simple Hugo blog website with a theme link and requirements, it failed consecutive times. With all the available models.

AI art is an abomination. Half of the internet is already filled with AI written crap. Don't start with the video. Soon everyone will require validation to distinguish reality from hallucination (so World ID in place as problem-reaction-solution).

For me, the best use cases are LLM assisted search with limited reasoning. Vision models for digitization and limited code assistance, codebase doc generation and documentation.

Agents are just workflows with more privileges. So where is the revolution? I don't see it.

Where is added value? Making Junior Engineers obsolete? Or make them dumb copy-pasting bio machines?

Depressing a horde of intellectual workers and artists and giving a good excuse for layoffs.

The real value is and always will be in a specialized ML applications.

LLM hype is getting boring.
