I have limited AI experience, but so far that’s what it means to me as well: helpful in very limited circumstances.
Mostly, I find it useful for “speaking new languages” - if I try to use AI to “help” with the stuff I have been doing daily for the past 20 years? Yeah, it’s just slowing me down.
FreedomAdvocate is right, IMO the best use case of ai is things you have an understanding of, but need some assistance. You need to understand enough to catch atleast impactful errors by the llm

I like the saying that LLMs are “good” at stuff you don’t know. That’s about it.
When you know the subject it stops being much useful because you’ll already know the very obvious stuff that LLM could help you.

They’re also bad at that though, because if you don’t know that stuff then you don’t know if what it’s telling you is right or wrong.
I…think that’s their point. The only reason it seems good is because you’re bad and can’t spot that is bad, too.
Like search engines, and libraries…
