You’re trying to tell me it’s all hype when I have (depending on the day) a top 50 Productivity app in the iOS App Store for which I’ve written and read exactly one line of code (the version number).
I don't think AI is all hype at all. Opus 5.5 is really impressive. This twitter (x? whatever) post is infuriatingly hypey and just written for virality, though
It's insane how confidently you can make a claim like this in a forum where thousands (tens of thousands?) of people are using these tools daily to build useful software for themselves and others.
How can you possibly believe it's all hype? Is everyone just lying? Are we all paying $200 per month because... why?
Spend long enough (or not even that long) in corporate software development and you'd believe such unsubstantiated hype is possible. The only difference here is even stronger incentives to pretend the emperor has clothes: insane overinvestment, threats of job loss for non-believers, fear of missing out on massive alleged productivity gains.
This just goes to further show the divide.

It is comical that you think a good bar for quality is the fucking appstore.
What even is this comment. Like, oh wow, an iOS app, AI hype=real.
???
Oh no, I get money deposited into my bank account every month for something I didn’t write and barely maintain. How will I ever gain value from AI?

Well done.
It's incredible to see AI denialists still active in late 2026.
