Technology improving is not the issue.
1. LLM fanboy: "LLMs are awesome, they can do x, y, and z really well."
2. LLM skeptic: "OK, but I tried them and found them wanting for doing x, y, and z"
3. LLM fanboy: "You're doing it wrong. Do it this way ..."
4. The LLM skeptic goes to try it that way, still finds it unsatisfactory. A few months pass....
5. LLM fanboy: "Hey, have you tried model a.b.c-new? The problems with doing x, y, and z have now been fixed" (implicitly now agrees that the original complaints were valid)
6. LLM skeptic: "What the heck, I though you denied there were problems with LLMs doing x, y, and z? And I still have problems getting them to do it well"
