"LLMs are good for programming at least".

No, they are not. Even the current "thinking" ones. I ran into the common problem of it suggesting a perfect method, except for the tiny inconvenience of it being completely made up. Things got weird after that.

Sitting through an enterprise ChatGPT presentation and I want to crawl out of my skin. The gap between what these tools are doing and what they are being sold as is enormous.

Love to spend 20 minutes once a year placing bets on my health during open enrollment. Do I want to pay $5 a month for "Accident insurance" so that I get $750 if I lose a finger or $4k for a skull fracture? Much better and more efficient than an actual social safety net.
