A Reddit user started a discussion asking people to share their experiences of changing their minds after actually using AI tools.
The OP noted that many things look great in demos but become annoying for real work, while other things initially dismissed as hype—like Agents, RAG, or local models—turned out to be genuinely useful. The thread attracted many developers sharing their "from skeptic to believer" stories.
