A high-engagement thread (143 comments) challenges the agent-and-coding obsession: the original use case that drew many practitioners was superior knowledge retrieval over search engine noise, largely unsolved three years later. Models optimized for agentic coding often sacrifice the contextual knowledge depth that makes LLMs useful for research. A real gap in the development trajectory.
