There's literally a billion ChatGPT users already, the worlds fastest growing product. Do you think they're all just playing around in the sand? Ask anyone in education, it has completely upended every student's workflow.
Just because people aren’t talking about how LLMs are boosting their productivity to ship “insanely great” products doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I don’t talk about every tool I use, and neither do many of the best teams who keep their eyes on the prize and relentlessly ship.
I think their point was: at this point we should see clear macro effects. There should be new software that wasn't possible yesterday (or feasible, etc). Something big and new, and high quality.
AI helps me too, and I feel like I ship more now. But what if it's just a feeling and I'm not doing anything groundbreaking? What if I'm just doing what I've always done but at slighly more speed?
