I am very impressed with LLMs, but.....

I don't think we are seeing productivity gains due to LLMs in the general economy yet.

Even in software development, are we seeing an increase in the number of products or features shipped?

I agree. I think LLMs do make specific tasks much faster (like typing code), but these tasks usually make up a small amount of people's actual work.

What I mostly meant was that Ed's view on LLMs is that they won't get much better than they are now, which—so far—has been incorrect every time he made the point. I also think he puts too much weight on things like hallucinations, which aren't much of an issue for many applications of LLMs.
