This is useful feedback. I'm not here to shill for OpenAI, nor Google/Gemini, but can you share a concrete example? It would be interesting to hear more about your use case. More abstractly: Do you think these "moved entire workflows" offset a full worker, or X% of a full worker? I am curious to see how and when we will see low-end/junior knowledge workers displaced by solid LLMs. Listening to the Oxide and Friends podcast, I learned that they make pretty regular use of LLMs to create graphs using GNU plot. To paraphrase, they said "it is like have a good intern".

Upload a complicated PDF of presentation and ask for insights that require some critical thinking about them.

It can replace many junior analysts IMO.
