@kitten_tech @carbontwelve @david_chisnall @simon Something I've found LLMs useful for, and I've seen Simon say something similar, is writing code in a language or situation that I _kinda_ know. I might not have bothered writing it if I had to climb boilerplate mountain first, but the LLM serves as guardrails and crack-filler. And since I _kinda_ know the thing, I don't fall for appalling hallucinations, but I get a chance to learn more about the thing fairly painlessly.

@jt7d @kitten_tech @carbontwelve @david_chisnall @simon this is a really good point - if you treat it as a intern who knows a little about the topic but might be wrong, it can still point you to the correct solution.

This is, perhaps the meatspace equivalent of the caching application described elsewhere in the replies to this thread.

This is how I also use the (mandatory 🤷🏻‍♀️) LLM results in Google search - as a way to find links and or search terms that will get me to the actual answer.

Yeah, earlier I mentioned copilot can help me with the flow. It generates some bs and I am that's not what I want, I want this and do it. Or it gives me ideas I hadn't had before. (Besides autocompleting shorter or simpler bits I can easily approve)
