That's because LLMs are optimally designed for tasks like coding, as well as other text-prediction tasks such as writing, editing, etc.

The mistake is to project the same level of productivity provided by LLMs in coding to all other areas of work.

The point of TFA is that LLMs are an excellent tool for particular aspects of work (coding being one of them), not a general intelligence tool that improves all aspects (as we're being sold).
