With current LLMs, my productivity is increased by at least 50%. This will only get better over time as efficiency is gained and hardware gets cheaper.

How are you measuring your productivity? There are studies [0][1] that indicate it's common for people to self-assess that their productivity using LLMs increased by 20-40%, when in fact it decreased based on objective, controlled measures.

who you going to believe? random studies or your own lying eyes?
You say “random studies” like you’re trying to discredit them in some way. But they’re not “random”, they’re controlled, documented, objective and published for you to go and read the results.
