I also have found that AI has not lived up to many of its promises and have dialed back what AI gets control of. My projects were turning into unmaintainable messes. The people who say coding is solved aren't paying attention.

  As usual, when people post comments like this they never specify what model and when they used it. There is a huge difference between GPT 3 and 6 for example.
  Late 2025 also had a step change when agents could largely code autonomously without handholding like previously, and to be honest it's not worth hearing opinions about AI from before that time, that's how significant the change was.
