You are imaging LLMs are capable of much more than they actually are. Here's the only thing they are good for.

> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

No, I'm not imagining things. You are, however, imaging (incorrectly) that I'm not an expert with AI who's already seen superhuman performance out of LLM prompts in the vast majority of every software development question I've ever asked them, starting all the way back at GPT-3.5.

So, where are all of your world changing innovations driven by these superhuman capabilities?

You raise a great point. Maybe I should be asking the AI for more career advice or new product ideas, rather than just letting it merely solve each specific coding challenge.
