But that would mean they enormously exaggerate the capabilities of their models.

I can’t go "look it built a browser from scratch" and "look it built a compiler" to "sorry, native apps are complicated"

That's what I mean, this has nothing to do with Electron or why developers or companies use it. It's just kicking the tires on the marketing. Truth in advertising is always scarce, Red Bull doesn't literally give you wings either.

You and I both know that AI today can't really build a browser or compiler from scratch on par with the cumulative human work put into Chrome or GCC. You could just as easily side-eye these companies like "well, if your AI is so good, why doesn't it build its own hardware and OS and run on that?". Even if they could, why would they do that except as a proof of concept? It'd still be more work and more time for no benefit at all to their customers or their business.
