LLM-assisted coding can be used to good effect, but I think it's pretty clear at this point that its impact has so far been a net negative on productivity in real terms.
The future is not evenly distributed. Getting a real productivity net-positive out of LLMs can definitly come, after a period of investment, like all new tools.
I'm solidly in net-positive territory now, but I don't think most are, including most who think they are.
"AI" is just a database with code generation features.
We've had new databases and code generators lots of times. This generation is particularly slippery and deceptive to the user.
Everybody needs to sober up if they really want to be effective.
