I've been reading this for 3 years and all I've seen so far is my peers making more work for me by going on wild goose chases and making me wade through slop. I do believe there are ways to use it responsibly and productively but that is definitely not what is happening on average.
I don't understand why so many people decided to take "LLMs increase productivity" as an axiom instead of using their fucking eyes and looking at what is happening around them.
