Extremely doubtful.

This thread has hundreds of comments where people are screaming that everyone needs to learn AI coding.

If it was such an edge would they not otherwise keep quiet?

Because there are forces that are trying to kill the momentum.

Imagine that there was a serum that gives you superhuman strength only under specific conditions that you’re supposed to discover. Then there’s half room who screams that it should be banned, because it is cheating/fake/doesn’t work. And there’s another half room that swears by it, because they know how to utilize it properly.

You know it works and you don’t want to give up your secret sauce or make another half of the room stronger.

    There are many billions of dollars at stake to try and gain momentum. That's just the direct investment from the AI companies. The entire tech sector wants it to succeed so they can save on salary from expensive engineers.

    Those forces are up against tens of billions of dollars and very well connected CEOs. Which is why I take overly positive views on LLMs with a grain of salt.

    Real life doesn't have superhuman serums.

    However real life does have illicit drugs that many people hype up and claim that they need.

    Also real life has performance enhancement drugs that cause a host of medical issues.

    Even drugs for medical necessity come with a list of side effects.
