> I can confirm that they are completely useless for real programming

Can you elaborate on "real programming" ?

I am assuming you mean the simplest hard problem that is solved. The value of the work is measured in those terms. Easy problems have boilerplate solutions and have been solved numerous times in the past. LLMs excel here.

Hard problems require intricate woven layers of logic and abstraction, and LLMs still struggle since they do not have causal models. The value however is in the solution of these kinds of problems since the easy problems are assumed to be solved already.
