The thing is that it's way more than just a few. Progress seemed like it might've been slowing some for a stretch last year but in the past few months it's picked up a lot to where recently it's gotten good enough at coding that the field of coding is in the process of being revolutionized with tons of professional coders adopting it lately. In general people are increasingly using LLMs to help them do important stuff like research things, look over legal contracts and so on. It's also getting capable at cybersecurity, for example just earlier this year Mozilla partnered with Anthropic which resulted in February having twice as many Firefox bugs found compared to a usual month. 

The legal stuff and others works done by AI are plagued with errors though because LLMs hallucinate and can't differentiate true from false data.

Given the flipside is deepfake revenge/child porn, rampant misinformation, a pretense for suits to lay off workers, slop infesting every corner of the internet, scams, environmental destruction, prices for RAM and stuff going through the roof, a bubble that threatens to crash the economy and more, I'd say the bad still far outweighs any good.

As haxxiy mentioned there has been significant improvement with that in the past year. Someone still shouldn't blindly trust an initial output but that's no different from the internet where it can be incredibly useful but someone shouldn't blindly trust the first result on Google. The main thing is you recognize that the tech is powerful enough to do a lot of harm when used poorly but have been downplaying how that power can be used for a lot of good as well when used right.

I imagine you've seen Genie 3 since it's been talked about on here some and even though that tech is still primitive this article shows how it's already being used to help train self driving cars so is already helping save lives and prevent injuries through just that one use case and that's before it starts getting used for things like exposure therapy, training robots and helping out scientific research. Basically thinking it's more negative than positive right now is fair enough but I do think your view could be more balanced. For the future I'm optimistic for when things get advanced enough that robots are doing all required labour to keep society running making it so people at large no longer have to work to have a comfortable life.
