This author has clearly bought into the LLM bullshit hype fest. This is all just a bubble that'll burst. LLMs will stick around as just another tool in our toolbelts in the long run. In my every day life, I'm seeing at most a 25% boost to productivity using garden variety generative AI. This doesn't really fit the bill of TrueReddit for me.
I use it to assist with complex script writing. I improve and automate collaborative development systems for a large community of software developers. On occasion it's incredibly useful, but sometimes it's a big time waster that produces useless garbage. On a good day it's a 25% boost.
Wow! That sounds impressive. When I hear about people with jobs like that in software development or any other technical field I am just so jealous. I always wanted to do that sort of thing, and I'm strongly interested in writing code and things like that, but as far as I've ever gone is a year of comp sci and writing mods for various games throughout my life, and I was really into writing html to build dragonball websites in the 90s lol. I keep thinking about going back or trying to switch from what I'm doing now but I keep hearing that it's an awful time to do that.
