The irony here is that even if one is extracting legitimate value from LLMs because they are that much smarter than their peers, the process of using LLMs to perform all of their skilled labor makes them less intelligent.

Don’t forget, it also depends on the complexity of the work and the experiences of the operator.

The less complex the work and the less experienced the operator means more perceived “wow” factor :)

There’s definitely an aspect of how you use it though. In my work it’s mostly been chaining to reduce non-determinism.
