    It is truly terrible marketing. It’s been obvious to me for years the value is in giving it to people and enabling them to do more with less, not outright replacing humans, especially not expert humans.

    I use AI/LLMs pretty much every day now. I write MCP servers and automate things with it and it’s mind blowing how productive it makes me.

    Just today I used these tools in a highly supervised way to complete a task that would have been a full day of tedius work, all done in an hour. That is fucking fantastic, it’s means I get to spend that time on more important things.

    It’s like giving an accountant excel. Excel isn’t replacing them, but it’s taking care of specific tasks so they can focus on better things.

    On the reliability and accuracy front there is still a lot to be desired, sure. But for supervised chats where it’s calling my tools it’s pretty damn good.
