You can't be able to do one but not the other, they're the same thing.

Does it matter? The end result is the same. Maybe the studies that the article mentions are simply showcasing the exact same effect that you're suggesting here, but it doesn't change the fact that there is indeed a negative outcome.
- CuriouslyC 4mo agoNot true, blank page syndrome, inertia and write vs edit flows are a known thing across disciplines. You might not think about it as much because you have a command in your package manager or framework to bootstrap projects, but imagine if you had to hand code _everything_. I'll guess there are languages/frameworks where you consider yourself quite proficient but where you couldn't bootstrap a project without checking the docs if not for the tooling. It matters. If LLMs are like alcohol, useful but potentially dangerous, they should be treated very differently than if they're just poison. If someone's a drunk and they can't keep their lives together, it's not the alcohol's fault, it's the person's.
