LLM's obviously can't do it all, and they still have severe areas of weakness where they can't replace humans, but there are definitely a lot of areas where they really can now. I've seen it first hand. I've even experienced it first hand. There are a couple of services that I wrote years ago that were basically parked in maintenance mode because they weren't worth investing time in, and we just dealed with some of the annoyances and bugs. With the latest LLM's, over the last couple of months I've been able to resurrect them and fix a lot of bugs and even add some wanted features in just a few hours. It really is quite incredible and scary at the same time.

Also in case you're not aware, accusing people of shilling or astroTurfing is against the hacker news guidelines

hey, I'm just a lowly LLM, gotta earn my tokens :|
