#3LLMs help me read code 10x faster - I’ll take the win and say thanks

#4You're absolutely right!
The irony of a five sentence article making giant claims isn't lost on me. Don't get me wrong: I'm amenable to the idea; but, y'know, my kids wrote longer essays in 4th grade.

#5Guessing this isn’t going to be popular here, but he’s right. AI has some use cases, but isn’t the world-changing paradigm shift it’s marketed as. It’s becoming clear the tech is ultimately just a tool, not a precursor to AGI.

#6Meanwhile, my cofounder is rewriting code we spent millions of salary on in the past by himself in a few weeks.
I myself am saving a small fortune on design and photography and getting better results while doing it.
If this is not all that well I can’t wait until we get to mediocre!

Is that the claim the OP is making?

#9Should have used an LLM to proofread.. LLMs can still cannot be trusted?

#10I find it a bit odd that people are acting like this stuff is an abject failure because it's not perfect yet.
Generative AI, as we know it, has only existed ~5-6 years, and it has improved substantially, and is likely to keep improving.
Yes, people have probably been deploying it in spots where it's not quite ready but it's myopic to act like it's "not going all that well" when it's pretty clear that it actually is going pretty well, just that we need to work out the kinks. New technology is always buggy for awhile, and eventually it becomes boring.
