It is odd when folks get mad when I say AI is already useful. We are only 18 months into LLMs & there have already been many controlled trials finding LLMs are useful, firms have public case studies with real metrics, etc Lots of reasons to critique AI, “uselessness” isn’t one.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics
