today is may 2026. all my apps are up to date. all the SaaS I use are up to date by definition. so where is the promised LLM software revolution?

all those super-on-steroids productivity boosts — where did they land? my banks, insurance, delivery apps, utilities... none of them blew my mind with killer features. not even the obvious long-awaited ones. if anything, I've noticed degraded quality in some apps from companies worth $T's.

am I the only one feeling this? have any of you actually noticed tremendous improvements as end users in your day-to-day apps — and I mean apps you actually rely on, other than the LLM products themselves (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI etc.)?

what are all those AI billions actually hiding?

I am asking this from the end user perspective, and I have no answer.
