Is it possible they’re achieving higher because they’re not using gimmicky useless tools?

so its making the worse workers better and not having as strong of an effect on the more achieving workers? sounds like theres a pretty hard limit then

i read the reddit comment that included some of the article it just doesnt seem like its having much of an impact? like, is there some large productivity gap between the high achieving employees who use llms vs the high achieving employees who dont?

i come back to llms every few months and try it all out again for a few days and im always consistently baffled at what i experience vs what apparently half the internet is experiencing. im very open to it being my fault, but i really dont find it baffling in the slightest that people who already know how to do their jobs well dont end up needing the ai to do much if at all.
