"I honestly thought it was just an experiment that got abandoned and never expected it to actually become a real product, similar to how GH Copilot Spaces was an experiment and turned into Copilot agent."
My guess is that this is a play for the future. They know that current-day AIs can't really handle this in general... but if you wait for the AI that can and then try to implement this functionality you might get scooped. Why not implement it and wait for the AIs to catch up, is probably what they are thinking.
I'm skeptical LLMs can ever achieve this no matter how much we pour into them, but I don't expect LLMs to be the last word in AI either.
