I agree with you both. I feel LLM kills both procrastination AND capability for original thought.
But! There are some problems that are intrinsically interesting to me and others that are boring as hell but need to be solved.
In 20 years of work I’ve not come up with any way to make those boring tasks psychologically _not_ so disagreeable they are close to painfull.
But now the LLM can do whatever crap it does for those and I _finally_ can focus just on the interesting bits.
So, a boring task - off to the LLM you go - interesting - it’s mine, all mine!
