right, because grabbing a tool reluctantly and spinning up something you could easily do by hand gives you all the insights you need to write a blog post. what could go wrong?

Don't want to be rude but thats the last-resort-argument people make when defending LLMs. Its always about wrong utilization or the wrong test. If LLMs are so capable and so useful where is the "AI" fueled, real economic growth ? Why is Software still not dead cheap ? I really see how useful LLMs are especially for search. Its amazing and I use it every day. Also sometimes it can generate decent code. But this is still only a marginal improvement of productivity which leads to the big question I have: Why is it so hard to see the value created by LLMs if they are really the innovation they are promised to be ? Imo it should be trivial to see the benefit of such an innovation, kind of like it was with the wheel or the computer. For AI this is still a big ongoing discussion with not much to show. What am I missing ?
