Perhaps. But does it matter? There is a million tools to investigate complex data already. Are you suggesting it is more useful to develop a new tool from scratch, using LLM-type tools, than it is to use a mature tool for data analysis?

If you don't know how to analyze data, and flat out refuse to invest in learning the skill, then I guess that could be really useful. Those users are likely the ones most enthusiastic about AI. But are those users close to as productive as someone who learns a mature tool? Not even close.

Lots of people appreciate an LLM to generate boiler plate code and establish frameworks for their data structures. But that's code that probably shouldn't be there in the first place. Vibe coding a game can be done impressively quick, but have you tried using a game construction kit? That's much faster still.
