I’m a light LLM user myself and I still write most of the important code by myself.

Even I can see there has been a clear advancement in performance in the past six months. There will probably be another incremental step 6 months from now.

I use LLMs in a project that helps give suggestions for a previously manually data entry job. Six months ago the LLM suggestions were hit or miss. Using a recent model it’s over 90% accurate. Everything is still manually reviewed by humans but having a recent model handle the grunt work has been game changing.

If people are drinking a firehose of LinkedIn style influencer hype posts I could see why it’s tiresome. I ignore those and I think everyone else should do. There is real progress being made though.
