LLMs are a very good tool for a particular class of problems. They can sift through endless amounts of data and follow reasonably ambiguous instructions to extract relevant parts without getting bored. So, if you use them well, you can dramatically cut down the routine part of your work, and focus on more creative part.

So if you had that great idea that takes a full day to prototype, hence you never bothered, an LLM can whip out something reasonably usable under an hour. So, it will make idea-driven people more productive. The problem is, you don't become a high-level thinking without doing some monkey work first, and if we delegate it all to LLMs, where will the next generation of big thinkers come from?
