Behind the Buzzword: What ‘AI’ Really Means at Chippy
However, what's really happening underneath? Because we're not getting smarter models, that’s for sure. We're getting the same pattern-matching machinery in different arrangements.

Claude Code wraps a pattern-matcher in terminal tools so it can edit files and run git commands. Each tool solves a real problem; latency, privacy, workflow integration, but none of them are becoming or showing more intelligence?
