alt Hacker NewsWell it completely misses the mark, because your whole article IS hyping up AI, and probably more than anything I've seen before honestly.
If it's all meant to be ironical, it's a huge failure and people will use it to support their AI hype.

There are too many people who see the absurd AI hype (especially absurd in terms of investment) and construct a counter-argument with it that AI is useless, overblown and just generally not good. And that's a fallacy. Two things can be true at the same time. Coding agents are a step change and immensely useful, and the valuations and breathless AGI evangelizing is a smoke screen and pure hype.
Don't let hype deter you to get your own hands dirty and try shit.
I was not clear enough. I wanted to write a PRO-AI blog post. The people against AI always say negative things with using as central argument that "AI is hyped and overhyped". So I, for fun, consider the anti-AI movement a form of hype. It's a joke but not in the sense it does not mean what it means.
