I often "feel" like I have all the details in my heads and LLMs effectively makes me type faster. But that's never the case. It's only when I start writing the code myself line by line that I discover blindspots. For example, in freshman year, I remember reading previous exams solutions (rather than drilling practice problems) to prep for a calculus midterm. It felt good. It felt easy. It felt like I can easily get the answers myself. I barely passed. My point is LLMs are probably doing more inference/thinking than we give it credit for. If it's making my life easier, it has to be atrophy-ing something right?
