This is a good example of how AI news gets distorted. The example is from Tagesschau, the most watched news program in Germany. Anthropic says more than 80% of code merged into its codebase was authored by Claude -> they turn that into: "AI can invent 80% of new AI itself" Anthropic says Claude achieved a ~52× speedup on a small-model training-code optimization benchmark -> they turn that into "AI trains itself 52× faster" Anthropic says Claude shipped 800+ API-error fixes in April 2026, and that the overseeing engineer estimated a human would have taken four years to complete the work -> they turn that into "AI completes 4 years of work in 4 days"
