This is the essence of my experience with LLMs. I don't need their help to walk my talks. But they help me immensely with skipping phases like "let's climb this curve for 30min to create some config and forget most of what you did before, then load it back and forget what you learned". They broaden your knowledge, not deepen it. It's a vague-memories extension with everything in it.
