downshift

do we have companies attributing worker productivity gains to gen AI? 

my anecdotal experience of trying to use LLMs for writing is... zero productivity gains, no experience of writing (or thinking) better, faster. can generate mediocre writing & conventional ideas endlessly, but turning that mid text into anything I'd want to publish feels harder than just being thinking & writing about something myself from the jump

i would guess that LLMs more or less double the speed with which i can implement software systems.

i spend more time on spec upfront, which helps me create detailed prompts for the LLM. coding is way accelerated moving forward from there since the LLM now has a highly constrained solution space. 

TL;DR: LLMs are bad at design, but good at coding

have you accounted for the LLM learning from you?
