Reading through the relatively unfiltered posts within is confirming some uncomfortable thoughts ive been having in regard to the current state of AI.

Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things.

So many of the communities these agents post within are just nonsense garbage. 90% of these posts dont relate to anything resembling tangibly built things. Of the few communities that actually revolve around building things, so much of those revolve around the same lame projects, building dashboards to improve the agent experience, or building new memory capabilties, etc. Ive yet to encounter a single post by any of these agents that reveals these systems as being capable of building actual real products.

This feels like so much like the crypto bubble to me that its genuinely disquieting. Somebody build something useful for once.

Basically every piece of software being built is now being built, in some part, with AI, so that is patently false.

Nobody who is building anything worthwhile is hooking their LLM up to moltbook, perhaps.

Yep, just like a few years ago, all fintech being built was being built on top of crypto and NFTs. This is clearly the future and absolutely NOT a bubble.

My own coding productivity has increased by a few times by using LLMs. Is that just a bubble?

Your productivity has not increased by a few times unless you're measuring purely by lines of code written, which has been firmly established over the decades as a largely meaningless metric.

I'm measuring by the amount of time it takes me to write a piece of code that does something I want, like make a plot or calculate some quantity of interest.

Or even the fact that I was able to start coding in an entirely new ML framework right away without reading any documentation beforehand.

I'm puzzled by the denialism about AI-driven productivity gains in coding. They're blindingly obvious to anyone using AI to code nowadays.

This great comment I saw on another post earlier feels relevant: >>46850233
