I also think LLMs are more difficult to use for most tasks than is often flouted myself but I don't really jive with statements like "Anyone who tells you otherwise is being misleading". Most of the time I find they are just using them in a very different capacity.
- simonw 2y agoI intended those words to imply "being misleading even if they don't know they are being misleading" - I made a better version of that point here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/using-llms-for-code/ https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/using-llms-for-code/ > If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone.
