"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It would make sense that it's better now though?
Claude Code came out in Feb 2025, widely available in May 2025. The tool itself has had many improvements as has the model behind it. It's pretty much THE tool people get into AI with currently.
Shit, I can get bugfixes as oneshot prompts now with Fable 5 using the superpowers plugin (not really superpowers, just skill files and stuff to tell it how to use test-driven development and other nice practices). I describe the bug in some detail, it'll create a failing test, then fix the issue. Some of those have not been trivial to track down and fix at all, but I can give it to an LLM and go work on another issue at the same time.
That's irrelevant. I'm talking about what the researchers wrote, how that relates to their own prior research, and how Arstechnica reported on it. I am not making and have not made any claims about whether or not developers are actually more productive.
