Your quoted example to make that point isn't particularly convincing, IMO. Cursor came out in 2023 and everything on that list would be a typical use case, plus ChatGPT for the search replacement.

Of course, it wasn't nearly as effective back then compared to current SOTA models, but none of those are hard to imagine someone recommending Cursor for anytime in 2024 or later.

If OP instead said something like one shotting an entire line of business app with 10k LoC I would agree with your reminder about perspective. But it feels somewhat hype-y to say that goal posts are being moved "monthly" when most of their list has been possible for years.
