"New hammer builds house in hours that took construction workers months." Reads the same to me. They introduced a new tool to help with a task that sounds like it was already near completion.
It is still a big accomplishment if the AI helped them solve the problem faster than they could have without it, but the headline makes it sound like it solved the problem completely from scratch.
This kind of hyperbole is what makes me continue to be skeptical of AI. The technology is unquestionably impressive and I think it's going to play a big role in technology and advancement moving forward. But every breakthrough comes with such a mountain of fluff that it's impossible to sort the mundane from the extraordinary and it all ends up feeling like a marketing-driven bubble waiting to burst.
