Exactly. I loved doing novel implementations or abstractions… and the AI excels at the part where it modifies it slightly for different contexts… aka the boring stuff.

But this is how you learn, how you find better ways, by grinding.

Getting wild ideas badly implemented on a silver plate is a slot machine, it leads nowhere but in circles.

    By grinding what though? I don't wanna grind "Entering characters with my fingers", I wanna grind "Does this design work for getting X to work as I want", which is exactly the sort of things LLMs help me move faster on.

    And yes, if you're just using it as a slot machine, I understand it doesn't feel useful. But I don't think that's how most people use it, at least that's not how I use it.
