No, I'm not imagining things. You are, however, imaging (incorrectly) that I'm not an expert with AI who's already seen superhuman performance out of LLM prompts in the vast majority of every software development question I've ever asked them, starting all the way back at GPT-3.5.
You raise a great point. Maybe I should be asking the AI for more career advice or new product ideas, rather than just letting it merely solve each specific coding challenge.
