> LLMs can be automated to do busy work and although they may take longer in terms of clock time than a human, the work is effectively done in the background.

What is this supposed busy work that can be done in the background unsupervised?

I think it's about time for the AI pushers to be absolutely clear about the actual specific tasks they are having success with. We're all getting a bit tired of the vagueness and hand waving.

No, you've got it backwards. If anything, people are getting tired of comments like yours.

Nope!

They are. There's no vagueness. It's rare to see people that still don't believe LLMs can do anything at all nowadays. Most other naysayers have moved on to the much more relevant question on whether the perceived productivity gains are real or not.

I don't think the original comment you responded to made this specific point.

HN votes say otherwise, lol

Not really. This is a thread that attracts a certain subset of people so it's expected. Compare the comments here to the ones in a thread with a more neutral premise.
