Well. TBH for some maybe this is the wrong question to ask but I have been thinking where did those 250 billion tokens go? What tools/products/services came out of that?
This has been my biggest question through this whole AI craze. If AI is making everyone X% more productive, where is the proof? Shouldn't we expect to see new startups now able to compete with large enterprises? Shouldn't we be seeing new amazing apps? New features being added? Shouldn't bugs be a thing of the past? Shouldn't uptime be a solved problem by now?
I look around and everything seems to be... the same? Apart from the availability of these AI tools, what has meaningfully changed since 2020?
AI coding improved a lot over 2025. In early 2025 LLMs still struggled with counting. Now they are capable of tool calling so they can just use a calculator. Frankly, I'd say AI coding may as well have not existed before mid-2025. The output wasn't really that good. Sure you could generate code but couldn't rely on a coding agent to make 2 line edits to a 1000 line file.
