Hard disagree. A very clear counterexample from my usage:

Gpt-4 is phenomenal at helping a skilled person work on tangential tasks where their skills generally translate but they don’t have strong domain knowledge.

I’ve been writing code for a decade, and recently I’ve been learning some ML for the first time. I’m using gpt-4 everyday and it’s been a delight.

To be fair, I can see one might find the rough edges annoying on occasion. For me, it’s quite manageable and not much of a bother. I’ve gotten better at ignoring or working around them. There is definitely an art to using these tools.

I expect the value provided to continue growing. We haven’t plucked all of the low-hanging or mid-hanging fruit yet.

I can share chat transcripts if you are interested.
