>People don't ask hammers to do much more than bash in nails into walls.

“It resembles a normal hammer but is outfitted with an little motor and an flexible head part which moves back and forth in a hammering motion, sparing the user from moving his or her own hand to hammer something by their own force and by so making their job easier”

Good reference and a funny scene but doesn't quite hit home because we have invented improved hammers in the form of pneumatic nail guns and even cordless nailers (some pneumatic and some motorized) which could truly be called an "electric hammer".

With this context the example may support the quote, nail guns do make driving nails much faster and easier but that's all they do. You can't pull a nail with a nail gun and you can't use it for any of the other things that a regular hammer can do. They do 10x your ability to drive nails though.

On the other hand, LLMs are significantly more multi-purpose than a nail gun.
