The article comments "out of the box, LLMs are particularly good at tasks like creative writing" but I think this actually demonstrates the problem with the ai.

A writer won't think that they're good at creative writing. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd think LLM's are terrible at creative writing.

In other words, to an expert in their field, they're not that good - at least not yet.

But to someone who is not an expert, they're unbelievably good - they're enabled to do something they had zero ability to do before.

Yes, but why is then everyone on HN claiming LLMs can code on expert level?

Techbro astroturfing. You don't really see the same level of OMG AI on other forums like Reddit. Same thing happened with cryptocurrencies, HN was inundated with plugs for them and the same behavior was downvoted severely elsewhere.
