If LLMs made a huge difference, I would expect that we would have already seen reductions in traffic jams, significant drops in trip times etc from Google and Apple Maps. Use is close to universal, and anecdotally, Maps will take you via routes you'd never discover on your own.

That is to say, I'll believe this when I see it

Take the list of wine uploaded to a chatbot. Hasn’t the seller already run his supplier’s list through the same chatbot as you? Shouldn’t the efficiency be most noticeable in jobs that have 75 different tasks; none of which is important-enough to hire a service for?
