Agents are decidedly not getting better at architecture by the day, but soon they'll be the best by default because we'll all be drooling idiots (speaking in terms of technical capability).

So the agents aren't getting smarter, but rather we're just getting dumber?

Both, the former more slowly than the latter.

Picture a foolish person falling out of a hot air balloon.

"Gosh," they think, plummeting, "the balloon is going upwards SO fast!"

		That reminds me of the usual argument by AI hypers: `“it would have taken me days/weeks/years/… to learn and produce something by myself”.` They forget that often what you need to know can be learned quickly, it’s just mastering (solving the general case) that takes a long time. Learning the piano takes years, learning how to play “Happy birthday” can be done in a few minutes.
