I honestly don't follow your angle at all. Mind telling me your complete takeaway? You are kind of throwing just bits and pieces at me and I followed too many sub-threads to keep full context.

I don't see where I was romantic either.

Not the OP, but I imagine it has to do with the "LLMs will improve over time" trope. You said "and have been for the last at least 6 months" and it's confusing what you meant or what you expected should have happened in the past 6 months.

I am simply qualifying my claims with the fact that they might not be super up to date is all.

And my comments here mostly stem from annoyance that people claim that we already have this super game-changing AI that will remove programmers. And I still say: no, we don't have it. It works for some things. _Some_. Maybe 10% of the whole thing, if we are being generous.
