Yes, but not absolutely. LLMs are a valuable tool for augmenting productivity. Used properly, they do give you a competitive advantage over someone who isn't using them. The "dead end" is in them being some magical replacement for skilled employees. The levels of delusion pumping out of SV and AI companies desperate to make a buck is unreal. They talk about chat bots like they're already solving humanity's toughest problems (or will be in "just two more weeks"). In reality, they're approximately good at solving certain problems (and they can only ever solve them from the POV of existing human knowledge—they can't create). You still have to hold their hand quite a bit. This current wave of tech is going to have an identical outcome to the "blockchain all the things" nightmare from a few years back. Long-term, there's a lot of potential for AI but this is just a significant step forward. We're not "there" yet and won't be for some time.
