>> I'm genuinely so confused when people say this with a straight face. Are you talking about coding? Desktop use? Prose? Or something else?

Same. It makes me wonder what types of things the person must be working on.

This is perpetually an issue with the whole field of AI/LLMs. The experience is so personal. Every time I talk to someone about their use of LLMs for software engineering, I'm shocked by their approaches and experiences. They say "X model keeps missing things" when I rely on it heavily for being thorough. They say "Y always gives me the best results" when I can't stand it.

People will see/think that I'm doing very well with my LLM use, and ask me what I'm doing. I tell them, they try it, then later they come back to me saying they just couldn't get it to work.
