"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

People who use slop keep saying stuff like "my productivity grew by leaps and bounds" and such. Yet I've never seen substantiation of productivity gains with LLMs: not with colleagues who gave it a try (at my boss' behest until he realized it was idiotic), nor with any actual formal management studies.
Are there any peer-reviewed studies showing productivity going "off the charts" by use of LLMs? Or is this all anecdote from people who were never productive in the first place and can thus make any claim they like about their productivity? (After all 1000× nothing is ... nothing.)
This claim also varies greatly depending on coding language, frameworks used and the task at hand.
