As much as I can't stand AI fanatics, I think some of the anti-AI rhetoric (especially on Lemmy) can be just as dogmatic. OP didn't make any "extraordinary" claims. LLM agents have actually gotten remarkably good at many programming tasks, in particular tracking down bugs, and some of the things they're able to work out are genuinely impressive. At the end of the day it's another tool, but it can be a powerful one in the right context.

That's not to say anything about the environmental, social, and economic issues surrounding the tech and the industry. Obviously large companies are acting completely recklessly in all of those domains and I don't intend to justify that aspect. That said, I think it's disingenuous to frame OPs post as "making extraordinary claims" and it detracts from legitimate (and IMO mostly unimpeachable) arguments against AI.
