Ronnie Chatterji highlights a dramatic shift in how people interact with AI, comparing findings from two studies. In a 2025 paper titled "How People Use ChatGPT", the research team found that usage was primarily centered around "asking" rather than "doing" — users were treating AI as an information tool rather than a task executor.

In a new 2026 study on Codex, however, the landscape has changed significantly. The share of individual users delegating full workday tasks (8 hours or more) to AI rose nearly 10x from January to May 2026. This represents a fundamental transition from AI as a conversational assistant to AI as an autonomous agent capable of handling substantial, real-world work, signaling a major inflection point in AI adoption and workforce dynamics.

OpenAI Developers highlights the integration of GPT-5.4's computer use and coding capabilities with developers. The post showcases a browser game built using the Playwright skill in Codex, emphasizing how the tool can be used for playtesting and iterative game development. This demonstrates OpenAI's continued push toward agentic coding workflows where AI models can directly interact with browsers and development environments to build and test software autonomously.

Santiago argues that Claude Code and Codex do not replace Copilot and Cursor, pushing back against a narrative he's heard from the vibe-coding community. He draws a distinction between these tools, noting that Claude Code and Codex are agentic coding tools suited for different use cases than the inline coding assistants like Copilot and Cursor. The post appears to be the beginning of a longer thread elaborating on why these tool categories serve fundamentally different purposes in a developer's workflow.
