>There’s an implication that the LLM did something that was eluding people for months, but when you read more closely they don’t actually say they were working on the problem for months. Just that they were complaining about it for months.

On the other hand, we've all probably had the experience of putting out a fire and wanting time to track down an issue only to be told to not bother since "everything is working now". Sometimes you spend months complaining about something because the people you're complaining to don't have the time to dive into an issue. Even if it would have taken mere hours for a human to hunt down the issue, someone still has to be given those hours to work on it. By contrast, copying a bunch of logs into an AI is nearly free.
