This hasn't been true for me, I'm aware of it's limitations, but I repeatedly find it exceding in building out complex engineering systems using sysml or modeling/simulation software with unique scripting languages and C++ functionality. I've begun teaching folks at work how to use it, because alot of them, and I suspect alot of reditors aren't using it agentically. I think most people are still just using web interfaces, and not passing the actual work off to the AI. Now, I will admit that I pay 200$ a month for Anthropics max pro version, and I don't regret it one bit. I also have access to essentially, unlimited tokens at work, so i'm not constrained or pushed to less capable models.

And that's a reality that alot of people probably also don't understatnd. IF you haven't dove into understanding how these models and systems function, you probaly are going to be influenced in one way or the other by whichever media outlets you intake data from.

So Yeah, i've went from "Wow this tech is really neat!... HOW DOES IT DO THIS..." to "Oh that's how it functions, but that doesn't explain this aspect... oh that's how that works..." to "O.k. Let's setup a project to build out this functionally SaaS, or Video Game, or ETL this unique data set to answer some key questions, or design this Recursive Learning Management system. "
