There are tons of use cases. E.g. if you know an algorithm (take any pseudocode description from a moderately complex algorithm on Wikipedia for example) and you know the programming language, you still may be looking at an hour or two of typing just to get that pseudocode down into code using your own language, variable names, libraries.

But this is the kind of thing a LLM excels at. It gives you 200 lines of impl right away, you have a good understanding of both what it should look like and how it should work.

Slow and error prone to type but, but quick and easy to verify once done, that's the key use case for me.
