The simple explanation for all this, along with the milquetoast replies kasey_junk gave you, is that to its acolytes, AI and LLMs cannot fail, only be failed.
If it doesn't seem to work very well, it's because you're obviously prompting it wrong.
If it doesn't boost your productivity, either you're the problem yourself, or, again, you're obviously using it wrong.
If progress in LLMs seems to be stagnating, you're obviously not part of the use cases where progress is booming.
When you have presupposed that LLMs and this particular AI boom is definitely the future, all comments to the contrary are by definition incorrect. If you treat it as a given that this AI boom will succeed (by some vague metric of "success") and conquer the world, skepticism is basically a moral failing and anti-progress.
The exciting part about this belief system is how little you actually have to point to hard numbers and, indeed, rely on faith. You can just entirely vibe it. It FEELS better and more powerful to you, your spins on the LLM slot machine FEEL smarter and more usable, it FEELS like you're getting more done. It doesn't matter if those things are actually true over the long run, it's about the feels. If someone isn't sharing your vibes about the LLM slot machine, that's entirely their fault and problem.
