Exactly, how are you supposed to verify anything when you don't have any skills left beyond prompting.

    You don't. That's why you don't use an LLM most of the time. I was talking about cases where either the tasks were too boring or required an expertise that I didn't have at the time.

    Thought it was obvious.

      How do you verify code that you don't have the expertise to write on your own?

        Good question. I run it by the docs that intimidated me before. Because I did not ask the LLM for the code only; I asked it to fully explain what did it change and why.

Absolutely. That's why I don't give the LLM the reins for long, nor do I tell it to do the whole thing. I want to keep my mind sharp and my abilities honed.
