Ok but why report PR pieces as evidence for LLMs being useful?

These are tools that can possibly provide output that is eventually correct. It is the human behind the wheel doing the actual work.

Give the tool to a lesser expert and you will get more garbage with fewer lucky shots.

For the elite, it is a balancing act where more often than not, the cost of making LLM do the work is less than doing it yourself. If this percentage is above 90% of the time, the tool is useful.

No that's new. This was the previous "accelerating science" piece.
