If you're looking at 2048, thinking you don't need one, and concluding it can't do anything worthwhile because it can't do <whatever problems it's failed at for you>, you're not seeing the forest for the trees. Yet another 2048 clone is itself, not super interesting, and because of that, there's very little economic value in creating one. An yet the person who created this 2048 clone was able to create it over a couple of hours of not focusing too hard on if, with the help of ChatGPT. The real question is how many computer programs as tools don't exist because they've previously been too expensive to develop. There's no way I'd pay someone else to develop a 2048 clone, because I could just write one myself, but if I wasn't capable of programming and needed an important workflow tool as, say, a graphics designer, I could muddle through it using ChatGPT, or I could pay someone else to do it, at a rate that was previously too expensive. Senior devs at FAANGs aren't going to be doing a whole lot of that at the rates they can command, but that's a whole lot of new programming work that existed but want getting satisfied prior to LLMs aiding programming.

That's what that anecdote* is about, not how invaluable someone else's 2048 clone is to you.
