      Imo, they’re just doing the same shit slightly faster. Whether or not it has value is separate and mostly in the eye of the beholder.

      Slop is a thought-terminating buzzword, you’re relying on it too heavily to make your point and it undermines you.

          These are just assertions.

          If they were true, nobody would be using them.

          Millions upon millions of people are using them every day?

              Widespread use alone isn’t conclusive proof of productivity, granted. But your alternative seems to require assuming thousands of companies are all independently making the same stupid decision, spending real money on tools that provide no value, while you’ve correctly identified what they’ve all somehow missed.

              Corporate adoption can be wasteful, and some uses absolutely are poor. But that doesn’t establish that LLMs don’t improve productivity. At most, it shows the gains are task-dependent and easy to misuse.

                  Then we’ve narrowed the disagreement quite a bit. You accept that LLMs can be used effectively, you’re just asserting that they’re misused far more often than not.

                  But both that and “anyone with eyes can see thousands of companies are wasting their money” are still just restating your conclusion baselessly.
