Why should anyone take your sensible first statement seriously if your second statement is so easily verifiably false?
Some of these AI critical posts really are an exercise in Gell Mann Amnesia, man.

Im still waiting to read about macro-level mass-lay offs or insane productivity leaps.
Where are the results, tell me? What insanely great products have been shipped by people leveraging/building on top of LLMs...?
Yeah, silence. As usual.
There's literally a billion ChatGPT users already, the worlds fastest growing product. Do you think they're all just playing around in the sand? Ask anyone in education, it has completely upended every student's workflow.
Just because people aren’t talking about how LLMs are boosting their productivity to ship “insanely great” products doesn’t mean it’s not happening. I don’t talk about every tool I use, and neither do many of the best teams who keep their eyes on the prize and relentlessly ship.
Meanwhile this story just came out: https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/claude-code-is-the-inf...
You can find posts on this site every day with people say they're seeing big productivity gains.
I'm sure they'll all lying though, right?
Or, because it hasn't solved all of the world's problems yet then I guess it doesn't count?
Maybe you're the one overhyping AI.
I think their point was: at this point we should see clear macro effects. There should be new software that wasn't possible yesterday (or feasible, etc). Something big and new, and high quality.
AI helps me too, and I feel like I ship more now. But what if it's just a feeling and I'm not doing anything groundbreaking? What if I'm just doing what I've always done but at slighly more speed?
