I can speak about ANSI X12 because I've used it (North America), haven't used EDIFACT (non-North America):
Each document type, like a PO or Invoice has a defined structure (by the standards group) which is conceptually nested/hierarchical but physically stored as a combination of tags at the line level combined with delimited elements within a line.
Traditionally the raw data would be pass through a translator tool that converted it into it's hierarchal structure and a person could define a mapping from that structure to their internal systems data structure.
With the internet and XML and JSON, many people/companies weren't aware of the standards and didn't have an EDI translator, so they just winged it and extracted what they needed from the raw data.
There is still a large volume of EDI based data movement and it will probably live for a long time due to cost to change plus having standard document definitions across companies reduces the level of effort to connect many partners to many other partners (it basically reduces the transformations down to a conversation about which things each company does uniquely in the document as opposed to starting from scratch with a completely custom document for every company).

I definitely see effective use of the tools.
The most common examples are non-tech or semi-tech people solving problems with Claude's help (e.g. create a query that provides X data for the auditors) and only requiring a quick review by the tech team as opposed to the tech team having to do all of the work. The pace has increased and the tech team is less of a bottleneck for some things.
Your arguments are actually confirmed by many researches: people with low competence in some area solve the problem with AI significantly faster than deducing the solution themselves. However, there is also a catch: people relying on LLM too much eventually fall behind in learning.
However, often time people start talking about something like 100% increase in performance — I just don't see it. Don't get me wrong: I totally enjoy AI making dirty work for me, but it's not something magical.
That's awesome, I know that initial feeling of being able to create and seeming like the sky is the limit.
I used to watch the workers at Radio Shack play Attack Force on the Model III and once I could afford a CoCo I learned how to make games by making that one.
Once in a while I had a little fun with this type of thing, back when it was just starting to become a thing:
"Can I have your phone number?"
"I'll trade you, you give me the CEO's phone number and I will give you my number. I may want to call him/her to check on deals or if I have problems with the product."
The reason was that during the years a lot of people had been 'creative' and built tools in its database/scripting language. Many of these tools had been abandoned but still had wormed their way into critical business processes. It took us years to decommission most of them and in some cases rebuild them with modern tech.
I really miss Lotus Sametime though. It had so many features that Teams doesn't.
- Show my online presence status to everyone except person X
- Send me a popup when person X comes online
- Disable message read receipts for person X
- Custom emoji
Well lots of stuff like that. Really handy in avoiding toxic colleagues if you're neurospicy :) Or to catch them first thing when they came online because you need something from them. It was also much more fun in sametime than Teams.
Teams also keeps a 100% persistent record of everything you say even if you delete it. In Microsoft Purview. It's definitely your enemy.
The "comes online" alert is possible if you choose to be notified when the person becomes available, but it's capped at stalking 15 people I think. Not the best but achieves that goal.
That's ok, I never stalk more than 15 people at a time anyway :) :) :)
But it was damn handy sometimes. Teams doesn't have this feature.
What was more of a lifesaver was the not showing status to some people though. There was one guy who would consider me his personal support person and this was really annoying. I know it's not normally considerd a good thing to solve a human problem by technical means. But for me it works just fine and much better than taking it up with the person themselves.
In addition to your example, there has been a pretty continuous supply of "predictions" that Einstein made that later proved correct when experiments were run.
> I don't actually believe that you can stack the dishwasher wrong as such
I read our dishwashers manual and was surprised at the significant amount of detail about how to position silverware for optimal cleaning (e.g. where to place small spoons, where to place forks, where to place large spoons, etc.)
