Actually good software that is suitable for mass adoption would go a long way to convincing a lot of people. This is just, yet another, proof-of-concept. Something which LLMs obviously can do, and which never seems to translate to real-world software people use. Parsing and rendering text is really not the hard part of building a browser, and there's no telling how closely the code mirrors existing open-source implementations if you aren't versed on the subject.
That said, I think some credit is due. This is still a nice weekend project as far as LLMs go, and I respect that you had a specific goal in mind (showing a better approach than Cursor's nonsense, that gets better results in less time with less cost) and achieved it quickly and decisively. It has not really changed my priors on LLMs in any way, though. If anything it just confirms them, particularly that the "agent swarm" stuff is a complete non-starter and demonstrates how ridiculous that avenue of hype is.
