Ask HN: Am I missing something with AI
4 by vasko | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I constantly hear developers around me talk about how AI has completely changed their life and how they don't even program anymore, they just prompt. But any time I've used it, the output has always been off. And when the output is off I have to go and read through everything, learn how it works and fix it, which at that point I might as well write it myself. I just don't understand what other people are seeing, I've mainly used Claude and ChatGPT, I got a free trial for premium but it's just underwhelming, their only use so far for me has been as a search engine, but they're a search engine that's wrong 20% of the time so even that use is questionable.

Used 'potatometer.com' to scan and analyze all All 197 YC Spring 2026 startups on their SEO / GEO / AEO technical setup. I scanned the URL each startup lists in YC's directory. Most are readable by AI crawlers. Most don't tell a crawler what they are. Read more in the blog above.
