"Agile was always aiming to solve the wrong problem (that code is the bottleneck)"

No, it aimed to solve the "out specs are bad and we need to iterate faster" problem.

"a massive lie exposed by LLMs"

No. LLMs add no insight about the problem and they expose nothing. They just help to engage this well-known problem with another tool.

Not in my experience. AI exposes the truth that agile as it is practised is a huge waste of time. All the bullshit ceremonies and short sprints were designed to get code squeezed out faster, no matter if the code actually addressed the goals of the project. The stupidity of agile is in its iteration speed since you can be handed utter crap, implement it to hit your story points and find out the drooling shitgibbon who wrote the specs phoned it in so your work is now wasted. Rinse, repeat.
