One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

But when I'm doing my job as a software developer, I don't want to be fuzzy. I want to be exact at telling the computer what to do, and for that, the most efficient way is still a programming language, not English. The only place where LLMs are an improvement is voice assistants. But voice assistants themselves are rather niche.

It can get you 80% of the way there, you can still be exacting in telling it where it went wrong or fine tuning the result by hand.
