LLM does 0% of my work, don't know what to tell you. LLMs are like 3 years old, I learned to do everything I know without LLMs, how is that hard to believe? How do you think all the software you use everyday, including this site itself, was written? 99.99% of it without any LLMs at all.
Do I use LLMs as an alternative to Googling? Absolutely. That doesn't mean AI is doing my job. Google and Stack Overflow also do 0% of my job. It's great as a reference tool. But if you're going to be that pedantic, we've got to count any help I receive from any human or tool as doing some % of my job. Do I count the open source software I build on? Do I count Slack as doing some % of my job since I don't have to go into the office and interface with everyone face-to-face? Does Ford get some of the credit for building the vehicle that gets me to the office?
Have I used a meeting transcription tool? Occasionally, yeah. That doesn't mean it does any part of my work. My job was never to transcribe meetings. Do I use it to brainstorm? No, I've found it's fairly useless for that. Do I use it to create presentations? No, I just write my slides the old fashioned way.
