You are more optimistic than I am. Most people I have seen are using LLMs are at best as an alternative to Grammarly or a document/web summary, or at worst making decision based on outdated LLM advice or as an inaccurate fact-engine.
The average person could code using Excel, but most don't even if they know how to use IF() and VLOOKUP().
- BeetleB 1y agoThat's because most people don't have access to MCPs. It will take 1-2 years to hit critical mass - once it's easy to plug in to ChatGPT and once major companies (e.g. Google for Gmail) provide easy to configure MCP servers. > The average person could code using Excel, but most don't even if they know how to use IF() and VLOOKUP(). Using Excel (even without IF) is way more complicated than what I am saying. MCPs will enable people to program with natural language. It's not like vibe coding where the natural language will produce code we'll run. The prompt will be the program. You need to put in a lot more effort to learn the basics of Excel.
