My point was "look at what computers(software) can do today vs. 3 years ago" - for everyone. You are saying that software that the arborist can have ChatGPT write to help it draw the garden isn't the same quality as a team of software engineers would write manually (I think). GitHub is (mostly?) software for software developers. Most software in the world is software for random people. Nobody(tm) cares about the quality of GitHub. The "has software (computers) gotten better" has to be measured from the perspective of the consumer, not the perspective of the software engineer, and nobody using AI is going to tell you "computers now are worse/can do less than they were 3 years ago". At least that's my thesis.

If AI today can make you more productive that's already progress. If it can't then maybe it makes other people more productive.
