LLM’s are nice. But if push came to shove, we could very easily continue on without them, or without them involved in every aspect.

Being able to write cutesy SaaS apps faster is neat, but not like, essential, the way water is.

LLMs are a “nice to have” blows my mind. LLMs power autonomous drones that kill real people in real wars. Coding agents are the primary way people code. That and we get a GPT4->5 jump every 18 months. Are we on the same planet?

If that's all you're using LLMs for, you've definitely fallen behind.
