It's very real but probably very domain specific. It got really good at a lot of traditional web dev stuff, bash, sql, and writing one off scripts to accomplish random tasks (hence all the agent stuff taking off). And they got good at staying on task. That may not translate to game dev because from what I understand a lot of these gains are basically around post training methods driven by synthetic data generation etc (with potential caveats on how synthetic that data actually is lol). I wouldn't be surprised if the areas of code the llms are good at now are straight up just product decisions of where to allocate budget for generating those synthetic data sets, and game dev stuff might not be at the top of the list because the customer base for that might not be as big
