Performative overstatement of AI capability — 'life-changing' agent workflows that in practice trigger half the time and need heavy hand-holding — is framed as doing measurable damage: it breaks hiring signals now that verbal fluency in MCP, RAG, and agents no longer proves competence, distorts genuine adoption, and manufactures a reverse-hustle culture where burning tokens replaces showing outcomes. The named drivers are attention economics, the difficulty of verifying anyone's claims, marketing that sells certainty AI can't deliver, and VC-to-exec-to-employee pressure to perform miracles.
