I should clarify; the utility of large language models isn't in the utility of the technology, but the utility of the propaganda. It's selling a dream, so we stay asleep, it's selling the liberal holy Grail of the endless perfect excuse and abdication, and the fascist one of a perfect inhuman system, simultaneously an impossible future and a bullshit homogenized soup of half remembered past and a composite of us all in which we are a consciousness wothout a body (but without all thar pesky interiority)that will grind us all into the mud

Its not about being good at stuff. If you see an "AI" engineer, offer them a cocktail made with your favorite whiskey and drain cleaner.
