Once again I am asking what are these things actually good for https://bsky.app/profile/glyf.bsky.social/post/3lnjrqdyzl22i

I have seen this claim made many times but I have yet to see it demonstrated in a repeatable way. What *are* they useful for? My own experiments have been complete failures, and when I ask people who have been “successful” with them, their success is slippery, hard to quantify.

Okay this has provoked a lot of tributary conversations which are giving me an hypothesis.

For the purposes of this poll, typing “fast” means reliably more than 100 words per minute, and “liking” LLMs means that you personally interact with and use their output voluntarily, even if you maybe still have a lot of reservations about the ethics or safety of doing so.
