I wouldn't call it a success at this point

Has all the hallmarks of a fad, it's a novelty

Possibly. Even if this incarnation is a fad and goes away, it clearly touched a nerve and peaked many people's curiosity in ways other AI agents haven't so far. (I'm talking about broad-use agents, not coding agents)
alternatively, if profits should ever come out of something like this, I can see it as two ways

1. it sounds like another way for late-stage capitalism to print money and create bs jobs for ai

2. entertainment for humans (what it is today)
