The insane AI push is purely driven by fear of being left behind.

No one is actually stopping to ask whether it is all worth it.

I followed AI developments in the beginning, but it felt like really effective use cases were always just out of reach.

Last time I was using AI was before "Agentic" AI was a thing (it was just around the corner).

Can anyone clue me in, is AI still making forward progress? I feel like if there was a massive change or breakthrough it would be HUGE news, but I also imagine slow incremental progress could eventually build up to being a breakthrough.

I understand that it is still way too prone to errors and hallucinations to be trusted with serious tasks, but have there been any noteworthy improvements?

LLM-based coding agents have become useful to the point that people are building large software projects without humans writing or reviewing code directly. The naive approach to that will result in disaster if used in a production environment, but practices to improve reliability are evolving.

Popular opinion seems to be that Claude Opus 4.5 was the tipping point for this.
