dotey: Grokbot-style personal agent hype is just lower-barrier crayfish, Claude Code users unfazed
dotey · x · 2026-10-25
Responding to a question about why Grokbot, Muse and similar personal agents are going viral—even among professional programmers and executives—dotey compares the craze to the earlier 'crayfish' moment, just with a lower barrier since no self-hosting or configuration is needed. He argues people who never used agents naturally get hooked on something slightly intelligent, while daily Claude Code / Codex users remain unmoved, joking it's like 'Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden'.
