Ok. My own empirical evidence is in favour of these things being useful, and useful enough to sell their output (partly), but I'll keep in mind that I'm being lied to.
Quite a huge leap from "these things are useful" to "these things can code".
(And yes, this leap is the lie you're being sold. "LLMs are kinda useful" is not what led to the LLM trillion dollar hype bubble.)
The thing I'm using them for is coding though...
