What's your point?

You seem to be implying that since the current wave of AI started that things have gotten better. That is demonstrably, repeatedly, and completely false. Just cruise the HN front page and watch the AI fails scroll by.

That you point to Windows getting bad over the years, and the fact that it continues to get worse with the full AI buy-in of Microsoft, shows that AI is not some magical software savior.

When something is wrong everyone complains, when nothing is wrong you rarely hear a peep. I've either shipped to production or helped others ship "AI Slop" code as would be blindly described by others, despite me reviewing it and testing it. I've first hand seen AI-first greenfield projects go into production and help small businesses achieve more sales and success, heck I reviewed such code for a relative who is now hiring developers and lets them AI code so long as they review, because it gave him something no software company in his market would offer.
