It is rather annoying because anyone who spends 15 minutes with the tool given the right context can easily learn its limitations and conclude that it’s a useful albeit imperfect tool. At this point not using an LLM in your day to day is like not using Google. Sure you can do it, but are you going to be outputting work as efficiently as possible? Wouldn’t you feel like doing your job without Google is hamstringing you a bit?
I definitely leave a lot on the table in terms of outputting work as efficiently as possible. In the past I’ve used personal wikis, time tracking software, personal project management software, etc. and it was a boon for my productivity. These days I don’t bother. I’m sure some people view chatbots the same way.
TBH my views on Google (and search engines) in general have also changed over time. The information available on the internet is surprisingly shallow. Anything related to proprietary tech, hardware, geographically local info, reverse engineering or just anything that relatively few people are working on is very hard to find.
