@jwcph @Ponygirl just like nobody has proven that woodworking machines can be useful, right? 😉 (yes, you fell victim of your own analogy)
It's not even remotely hard to prove that LLMs are useful (refactoring, difficult rebases, generating skeletons for projects, etc), anyone who honestly tried them knows that. Their problems are ethical, political, environmental and financial. LLMs (esp. frontier ones) are unsustainable, whether they work or not.

@creepy_owlet @Ponygirl Funny how all that evidence never turns up in public - you would think those examples were worth sharing... Maybe also tell you boss; about 90% of leaders asked say they can't see any gains thanks to AI.

@creepy_owlet @jwcph @Ponygirl I've found it works for those cases only if I already know what to do and walk the LLM through the process like I would a junior engineer. That takes longer than doing it myself in both scenarios, but in the LLM case I don't get a more experienced junior out of it.
