Why it worked

The video uses humor and relatable developer pain points to create a viral meme about the evolution of AI in coding. The contrast between the past and a speculative future, combined with the unexpected failure of the AI, makes it highly shareable.

Summary

The video contrasts the perceived helpfulness of GitHub Copilot for developers in 2022 with a humorous depiction of an AI in 2026 that struggles with a simple coding task. It highlights the evolving capabilities and potential frustrations with AI in software development.

Product placement

GitHub Copilot ACTS - it suggests code to developers, which is its primary function. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Next.js APPEARS - it is mentioned as a technology to rewrite a project into. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, as it's a mention of a technology, not an active use or demonstration.

Transcript

Developers in 2022 vs... GitHub Copilot is crazy. Why? It suggested a correct variable name. Wild! AI is so smart. I know. I hope it won't replace us. Developers in 2026 💀 This Opus is so dumb. Why? I told him to rewrite entire project to Next.js and it did everything but left one file. I know it's becoming so stupid. Now I need to prompt again. So unnecessary. They're making it dumb on purpose.
