The thing I am struggling with is where is the impact of LLM tools, especially given the massive increase in token consumption from 2025 to now and the saturated presence of LLMs everywhere.

Naively speaking, I have so many expectations for the impact of this tech.

I'd expect a noticeable uptick in applications published on Google, Apple and Microsoft app stores. I'd also expect an uptick of games published to Steam. I'd expect an uptick in Github repos and libraries on PyPi.

I'd also expect some impact on the GDP ⸻ a non-negligible part of running a business is communication, planning, ads. Naively, I'd expect that LLMs should be able to both speed some of these things up and lubricate others.

I'd also expect that large corpos like Microsoft and Apple would have more resources to spare on the essential details of their OS like having a functioning taskbar or a predictable, consistent GUI.

I'd expect increased SAT scores or improved PISA results. Maybe even improved mental health, let's go wild.

It's strikes me as a reasonably useful tool, personally.

Yet, where are the goods in the aggregate?
