I think with a lot of technologies the first 95% is easy but the last 5% becomes exponentially harder.
With LLMs though I think the problem is conflating them with other forms of intelligence.
They're amazingly good at forming sentences, but they're unable to do real actual work.
It's called the 80/20 rule. The first 80% is the easy part.
Yeah. I really dislike this "rule" because it's commonly espoused by motivational speakers and efficiency "experts" saying you make 80% of your money from 20% of your time.
It sounds great if you've never heard it before but in practice it just means "be more efficient" and is not really actionable.
