> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

- wzdd 2y agoThis is exactly how I use it. It's interesting to see what the "expected" thing would be. Even if I don't use the generated code, the time spent reviewing it is not lost. I might learn about a new library, or convention, or way of expressing something syntactically which I wouldn't have thought of. Even when it gets things wrong, it can get things wrong in a way which lets me know that I've made an incorrect assumption elsewhere.
