Lock-in. LLMs are today's hammer: everything looks like a nail now. LLMs are super useful for certain tasks (generating boilerplate code, generating tests, providing examples for API usage, summarising etc.), but the demo to me just illustrates a solution in desperate search for a problem. "Create A TODO" using a chatbot? That's an example gone wrong in so many ways and goes to show what happens if you start with a solution and work your way backwards to a use case without actually thinking about it yourself...
A todo list is already a productivity tool and not an essential one. When I hear about productivity I can't help but think "but be productive doing what?"
What do we have to do that's so important we need AI, and not a chat AI but AI on steroids (supposedly)?
