> LLMs are useful if you already have a good mental model and understanding of a subject. However, I believe that they are destructive when learning something from 0 to 1.
Super useful if you have code in mind and you can get an LLM to generate that code (eg, turning a 10 minute task into a 1 minute task).
Somewhat useful if you have a rough idea in mind, but need help with certain syntax and/or APIs (eg, you are an experienced python dev but are writing some ruby code).
Useful for researching a topic.
Useless for generating code where you have no idea if the generated code is good or correct.
