> What tasks is it better at doing than other technologies we have available to us? I'm not being sarcastic, I generally want to know in which areas you think it is better.
I, a below average programmer, can write code myself but it takes time and effort that is generally incompatible with my actual job. With an LLM I am able to write code with a level of time and effort that fits very nicely inside my job.
It can figure things out in a fraction of the time that it would take me. The limiting factor is no longer the depth of my technical knowledge but rather the knowledge of my business.
Sure, I could hire someone to do the coding for me but with an LLM available, why would I? And in that situation I would have to teach that person about the business because that would become their limiting factor if they could code as fast as the LLM.
