I have limited AI experience, but so far that's what it means to me as well: helpful in very limited circumstances.
Mostly, I find it useful for "speaking new languages" - if I try to use AI to "help" with the stuff I have been doing daily for the past 20 years? Yeah, it's just slowing me down.
I like the saying that LLMs are good at stuff you don’t know. That’s about it.
They're also bad at that though, because if you don't know that stuff then you don't know if what it's telling you is right or wrong.
Like search engines, and libraries...
