I compare today's coding AI agents to my 3 year old toddlers. Sometime they nail it and you're like "well done, great job! I'm so proud of you!".

Sometimes they're not quite there, and go in endless cycles but don't get anywhere. I just encourage them and give them support because they're not quite there but it's okay – we can bail out and fix it.

Other times, WTF! You question if you're a good parent because of the stupid shit they do. It doesn't help that AI's are like "You're totally right! I can't believe I missed that! Let me redo what I just did before again!"

So I've concluded that we're no where no AGI. We're not even toddler level, yet. We're so far away from AI being really truly useful, that it's not even funny.

AGI being a distant dream aside, AI going into a rabbit hole of nonsense now costs real money, which lowers the perceived benefit of the good parts quite a bit.
