If you could throw your endless todo list of side projects at an LLM, and can see at least some of them implemented overnight effortlessly, why not? You can still take credit because you had the idea in the first place and went through the effort to write it down and describe it well enough to be achievable. It's definitely more fun especially if you have limited hobby coding time.

If you're fine with running them blindly and having one of those scripts recursively remove your home directory, then sure. Otherwise it's very much not a zero effort affair. More like overseeing an overconfident overenthusiastic amphetamine-doped junior developer (or running his output blindly and hoping for the best).

I really do feel like we're living in completely separate worlds, so many people are very enthusiastic about LLMs, and every time I try them, they leave me completely disappointed.
