I found it somewhat charming that the authors, who express skepticism about the use of LLMs by novices, indeed stuck to their views and decided not to run their phrasings through an LLM. This will probably be one of the dwindling number of

For coding, I've been using it like Stack Overflow. It really decreases my barrier to doing work because I can ask lazy follow-up questions. For example, I might start out by asking it a question about a problem with Pandas like "
