Ask HN: Where is my UX after all those billions spent on LLM codegen?
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. I dont know wtf you want, but I know what I want. The rest of us are generating all the apps we’ve ever needed, customized to our exact taste.
