I agree with the idea that true agentic AI is far from perfect and is overused in a lot of low or negative ROI contexts... I'm not convinced that where the ROI is there, even if the error rate is high, that it isn't still worthwhile.

Augmented coding as Kent beck puts it is filled with errors but more and more people are starting to find to be a 2x+ improvement for most cases.

People are spending too much time arguing that the the extreme hype is extremely hyped and what can't be done and aren't looking at the massive progress in terms of what can be done.

Also no one I know uses any of the models in the article at this point. They called out a 50% improvement in models spaced 6 months apart... that's also where some of the hype comes from.
