I feel like the AI companies are constantly getting ahead of themselves. The recent generation of LLMs is getting really good at writing or modifying code incrementally following a precise specification. But no, of course that's no longer good enough. Now we have agents who are as dodgy as LLMs were a few years ago. It's as if Boeing launched the 707 too early, got it to work after a few (plane) crashes, but then, instead of focusing on that, they launch the 747 also too early, and it also promptly crashes. Little wonder that people will be more preoccupied with the crashes than with what actually works...
