I almost always validate what I get back from LLMs and it's usually right. Even when it isn't it still usually gets me closer to my goal (e.g maybe some UX has changed where a setting I'm looking for in an app has changed, etc).

IDK where you're getting the idea that it's fading out. So many people are using the "slightly better chatbots" every single day.

Btw if you only think chat GPT is slightly better than what we had a decade ago then I do not believe that you have used any chat bots at all, either 10 years ago or recently because that's actually a completely insane take.

To back that up, here's a rare update on stats from OpenAI: https://x.com/nickaturley/status/1952385556664520875

> This week, ChatGPT is on track to reach 700M weekly active users — up from 500M at the end of March and 4× since last year.
