I'm in the same boat. I've largely stopped using these tools other than asking questions about a language that I'm less familiar with or a complex type in typescript for which it can be helpful (sometimes). Otherwise, I felt like I was just wasting my time and becoming lazier/worse as a developer. I do wonder whether LLMs have hit a wall and we're in a hype cycle.

Yes, I have the same feeling about the wall/hype cycle. Most of my time is understanding code and formulating a plan to change code w/o breaking anything... even if LLMs would generate 100% perfect code on the first try, it would not help in a big way.

One thing I forgot to mention is asking LLMs questions from within the IDE instead of doing a web search... this works quite nice, but again, it is not a crazy productivity boost.
