If you are a 2600 chess player, a bot that plays 1800 chess is a horrendous chess player.

But you can understand why all the 1700 and below chess players say it is good and it is making them better using it for eval?

Don't worry, AI will replace you one day, you are just smarter than most of us so you don't see it yet.

The analogy of thinking of coding AI like it's chess AI is terrible. If chess AI was at the level of coding AI, it wouldn't win a single game.

This kind of thinking is actually a big reason why execs are being misinformed into overestimating LLM abilities.

LLM coding agents alone are not good enough to replace any single developer. They only make a developer x% faster. That dev who is now x% faster may then allow you to lay off another dev. That is a subtle yet critical difference.
