Could you post a selection? It would be intersting to gauge what you mean by breathless.

People posting their subjective experience is precisely what a lot of these pieces should be doing, good or bad, their experience is the data they have to contribute.

The plural of anecdote is not data. These subjective posts about experiences vibe coding, etc. may be entertaining but if you read 10 of them it doesn't give you an objective view of the state of LLMs. It gives you 10 opinions by 10 people who chose to blog about how they felt using a tool.
