To save months the output would have to be reliable, but it isn't. It saves very little, especially at data input and coding.

It does save time for tasks where the output is easily checked, such as image generation and translations. But the quality is often mediocre.

I cannot say for your work but for classification steps and data structuring it’s quite accurate and this is with regular testing. I cannot speak for your work but for mine and folks in adjacent industries, LLM are fantastic and adding a lot of value to our workflows. You’re honestly holding on to this dead idea that LLM outputs are full of hallucinations. Throwaway account with throwaway comment.

It's "quite accurate" which is not acceptable for almost all relevant tasks is a business context. Somebody needs to manually check everything. Almost no time is saved.

Talking as someone who has built many small OpenAI integrations aka wrappers in business apps.
