we were not able to do this before llms, but now we can
I’m in a leadership/operational role at a small marketing agency.
Pre-LLM I was writing a variety of scripts manually to automate and simplify processes. With LLMs, I’m still creating scripts but writing none of them. The complexity of processes that I’m able to automate has gone up significantly and the time it takes to write working scripts has gone from (at best) hours to minutes.
No longer am I limited by my knowledge of how to code. Now I’m limited by my ability to explain our business processes.
If LLMs weren’t a thing, I’d imagine I’d have hired at least 1 and probably 2 people to work on automations full-time.
