Ask HN: If LLMs are so useful, why haven't we seen any spike in productivity?
If LLM do actually help engineers become significantly more productive what could explain that, for instance, in the open source community:
- We are not fixing bugs faster
- We are not developing features faster
- We haven't seen an explosion of new projects
- We haven't seen an explosion of vulnerabilities being discovered
Maybe I am missing something but to me everything looks the same (except for an increasing amount of useless customer service chatbots and garbage LLM generated books on Amazon)
Edit: Unfortunately this submission was demoted for some reason but thanks for all the comments.
