I use already a few ai tools even without perfect accuracy.

And a LLM who only needs to call to a few API calls isn't hard.

Very little need perfect accuracy and for that we still have classical software.

You use them successfully because your human mind can filter out the junk. It would only take one inaccurate API call that charges your credit card $10k or sells your car for 10 cents to cause a lot of damage to your life.
Which is why even with classical software, most of us don't have APIs where that's all it takes.
Frankly I think you've said it all here - a properly designed API + a well designed LLM interface on top of that enables non-technical people to do things they otherwise couldn't.
curious to know, which tools do you use and how do you use em?
I use copilot for coding.

CharGPT for writing emails to bigger audiences, Gramma correction.

Image generator for fun.

LLM for Feature Extraction from random text like a website or PDF (llama).
