<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents: Just old automation with a new hat?</strong>: Apparently, “AI agents” are the new hotness, but some historians and technologists are calling BS, claiming it’s just a rebranded version of good old API/web automation. The technical article “Agents. It Is All APIs. Nothing Has Changed” suggests this hype is mostly investor-driven, proving that if you slap ‘AI’ on anything, the money will flow, regardless of actual innovation. So, next time someone talks about revolutionary agents, just remember: it’s probably just a fancy wrapper for an API call. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4rJ96gwiU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI code generation: The gift that keeps on giving… technical debt</strong>: While some developers claim AI is a collaborative coding partner, others are finding out the hard way that AI-generated code can be a nightmare. One team found AI-created SwiftUI views compiled initially but lacked product context and proper architecture, leading to state management chaos and refactoring that took longer than building from scratch. Another incident involved ChatGPT hallucinating a plausible but nonexistent API property, only caught during integration. So, if you’re thinking AI will magically write your next app, be prepared to spend more time fixing its ‘creativity’ than actually coding. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=6XeVWOBXO&amp;id=STWE5tRXe&amp;id=UAphs9F5B&amp;id=euzGVQGzQ&amp;id=iukrPGTg6&amp;id=m6P4U0J0b&amp;id=wCQfiCXDa" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude Co-work: A taste of AGI, or just bad UX?</strong>: Anthropic’s new Claude Co-work desktop app promises to bring Claude Code’s power to the masses, automating tasks like file organization and terminal commands. However, early reviews from Theo - <a href="http://t3.gg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">t3.gg</a> suggest it’s a buggy mess with broken authentication, UI glitches, and confusing permissions. While the underlying tech might be powerful, it seems the ‘AGI’ experience is currently marred by a user experience that makes you want to throw your computer out the window. Maybe they should have used an AI to design the UI first? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OemgIV2rY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
