Why everybody is obsessed with replacing humans with LLMs when it seems like the most profitable use cases (like coding agents) rely on enhancing human capabilities?

Until LLMs have some 0% error humans will have to be in the loop (even if they only serve to take responsibility of the process).

Would have been better if AI was known as Augmented Intelligence as it's a tool to to boost our own intelligence. Instead the term that promises science fiction futures predominated, and now it's being used to raise a ton of money.

Saying you want to make workers more productive and provide better tools for people just isn't that sexy.
