As someone that works in tech, this doesn’t really surprise me at all. Stuff like Claude Code is very useful to me both professionally and sometimes with tech hobby projects. But outside of that it is just a worse, albeit faster, version of a standard web search.

The problem is, the places where it could be the most effective are places where we already have processes in place, like the medical field and engineering. I’m sure LLMs are helping sift through ideas in those fields, but they don’t reduce the amount of work that needs to be done by actual people to produce actual results; they just help select the best potential new idea. Most stuff in life is already solved, and so AI can’t contribute there.

This is what’s been annoying me since the beginning. Anytime someone comes up with an example of where AI can be useful it’s always coding. It’s like they think that literally everyone programs things all the time and does nothing else.

i wouldnt even use that as “Faster web search” just a quick glance, of where the source is.
