Seriously!! Cars are marketed as a huge time saver, but every time I’ve tried one, they haven’t been. I’m told I just need to put in the time (ironic, no?) to learn to drive properly. Why don’t I just use that time to train my legs and run faster instead?

I think the difference here is it is not at all obvious to me that an LLM is a force multiplier on same the order as cars to legs.

Cars are pretty easy to observe in action doing what they promise to do. Driving a car is a very straightforward, mechanical, repeatable, intuitive operation.

Working with an LLM is not repeatable or straightforward.

I'm short, your analogy is not helping me
