Is it me or does this just create a bunch of extra steps and gratuitous complexity? These tools are not so efficient or make anything easier, it seems. I'm sorr

  I have been trying to find a use case for these LLMs and I continue to keep an eye just in case someone figures out a way to use them that I find useful in my workflow. My only use for them so far is as an explorative tool for tasks I'm not familiar such as when having to work with programming languages I never use. For such things its great as not only do I not have to go digging through the documentation, I also do not have to then search the web for examples on how its actually used. This is taking into account that I have removed the cost of using it as much as possible since I do not have to switch to a browser tab, asks my question, wait for reply and then copy any useful text to my editor. I have it setup as a function call inside my repl along with saved history to a local file in case I need it. Even with this convenient way of using it I notice that pretty much the only time I use it when working on my actual projecs is just to save me the trouble of doing a google search for trivial things such as looking up word definitions/synonyms for naming things or for anything else where I would expect to find the answer with just a bit of googling. I can just quickly do my request and continue with whatever I was doing and then return for my answer later.
