…and you probably had to fix a few things, but over all it saved you time and offered a modest productivity boost.
You have clearly actually used these tools.
I’m not being negative about LLMs; they’re great tools; modest, helpful, non-world ending tools.
That’s been my experience, and I also use them daily.
…this “2 minutes and you have an Uber”, unbounded productivity for small tasks = unbounded productivity for large tasks narrative is just people failing to understand what they’re using, because they haven’t used it enough to gain an intuition of how vastly distant where we are now is from that end goal.
That’s the point.
It’s not pessimism about the future; it’s more like:
Pay attention to what we have right now by actually using it, because the shiny examples people give you are, bluntly cherry-picked.
Don’t believe the hype.
It’s good. It’s not that good.
