   It's been almost half a year since we got powerful enough models, and I'm wondering, where are all those great things that were created with them? Maybe it's just me, but nothing has changed in my life so far. No improvements, but definitely, I need to be more careful when reading, listening, watching, and using things, as bad quality slowly creeps everywhere.

      Exactly. Software seems to be getting worse. The internet is getting filled with more and more bloat and falsehoods.

      I have yet to see any truly great products made with heavily agentic coding. Correct me if I'm wrong?

         I think a somewhat plausible scenario is that even if you made a great product that’s heavily AI aided, you don’t really gain a lot by trumpeting that fact. There are a lot of downsides to saying it’s made with AI and almost no upsides. So unless AI is somehow central to your product or you’re trying to ride the hype cycle, you’re probably better off not mentioning anything about AI.
