Claude Code is good, but it is far from being AGI. I use it every day, but it is still very much reliant on a human guiding it. I think it in particular shows when it comes to core abstractions - it really lacks the "mathematical taste" of a good designer, and it doesn't engage in long-term adversarial thinking about what might be wrong with a particular choice in the context of the application and future usage scenarios.
I think this type of thinking is a critical part of human creativity, and I can't see the current incarnation of agentic coding tools get there. They currently are way too reliant on a human carefully crafting the context and being careful of not putting in too many contradictory instructions or overloading the model with irrelevant details. An AGI has to be able to work productively on its own for days or weeks without going off on a tangent or suffering Xerox-like amnesia because it has compacted its context window 100 times.
