This is such a bizarre comment to me. I've found LLMs to be incredibly useful at helping me play around and explore certain topics. It makes brainstorming ideas and variants way more effective. Maybe you remember every terminal commands and their flags from the top of your head. I just ask an LLM and get a working set of terminal commands with a single prompt. Usually I remember enough flags to be able to validate that it looks how I'd expect, and it hasn't let me down yet. Even if I have to check some flags, it still seems like a net positive in utility. Most recently I wanted to solve a type of programming problem and didn't know what the category of tools was called. (It was GIS.) So with a bit of prompting I found a few key tools, libraries, and Wikipedia pages to read up on related to the kind of problem domain I had in mind. Ultimately it's just a tool and there's definitely a learning curve to using it effectively. But when it works out, it really feels a bit magical. And consider that this is still very early within the evolutionary cycle, it's only going to get better.
