When Watson did that, everyone initially was very impressed, but later it felt more like it was just a slightly better search engine.

LLMs screw up a lot, sure, but Watson couldn't do code reviews, or help me learn a foreign language by critiquing my use of articles and declination and idiom, nor could it create an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle, nor help millions of bored kids cheat on their homework by writing entire essays for them.
