Thread debunks AI hype: labs overpromising, devs not replaced
gerardsans · x · 2026-08-28
This tweet attacks the consistent failures of AI labs and hype cycles regarding timelines and claims. The author argues AI hasn't replaced developers, evolving coding more for hobbyists than experts, and that industries like math are bombarded with investor-targeted hype that hides costs, error rates, and babysitting needs. The author stresses that real news is "AI solved it on its own replacing a team," not just "AI was used." The thread addresses these gaps.
