> We are still figuring out how to use LLMs, and it will be some time before we have a decent idea of how to use them well
As per typical, Martin is so late to the party that he projects his own lack of understanding of the subject to be the general state of matters.
People are, and have been for a while, using LLMs as very effective accelerators or augmentations of themselves.
Claude Code, is a great example of something that can easily one-shot most trivial-to-average programming tasks.
While some wait for the "bubble to burst", a lot of people are gaining significant benefits from using LLMs to boost their speed in software development.
It's not a good idea to muddy the expectations for AI by mixing AGI and LLMs into the same bucket. LLMs are already useful for many purposes, even if they didn't lead to AGI, whatever the definition is.
