I'm old now, but thanks to LLMs I can now again tinker with things I don't understand :-)

The nice thing about LLMs is that they can explain stuff so you can learn to understand. And they are very patient.

For example I'm currently relearning various ImageMagick details and thanks to their explanations now understand things that I cut/copy/pasted a long time ago without always understanding why things worked the way they did.

Are you though? Or is the LLM the target of your tinkering and lack of understanding? Honest question.
