Not a single thing? In my house, we are using LLMs to: - plan youth soccer practices - develop well-formatted soccer game substitution schedules - build and ship software in languages I haven't used in 25 years on platforms I've never programmed for - do meal planning and build shopping lists - prepare grocery shopping carts - solicit medical advice - perform Garmin watch data analysis - administer devices (with SSH access) using natural language - avoid counterfeit soccer jersey purchases - create "Warrior Cat" graphic novels - make cartoon strips - troubleshoot appliances - manage finances - review accounting ledgers - diagnose malware infections - so much more And we do it all from a simple prompt that we can talk to if we choose. I've built more (and better) software in the past month than I did in any given year in the 30+ years I've been programming. I can understand pessimism regarding how this affects society. I can understand pessimism regarding how this gets abused. But for the life of me there's no good reason at all to be pessimistic about how quickly this has improved. | ||

> I've built more (and better) software in the past month than I did in any given year in the 30+ years I've been programming I feel similarly, but I think it's a valid question. Why is all the software I'm using not getting better? To be honest, I feel it's more buggy than it's ever been. | ||
