Claude code? Who’s talking about Claude code? I am talking about generative AI. It has been better than humans at coding for years.

It’s a paradox imo.

Generative AI is.. not better than the best humans at coding even today, let alone "for years" - I'm not sure how to even have a conversation if you believe this. Better than the worst humans, sure. Better than p50, probably also true.
