Using a LLM for these tasks really is somewhat like using a Semi to shuttle your home groceries. Absolutely unnecessary, and can be done via a scooter. But if a Semi is all you have you use it for everything. So here we are.

The real deal is, while a Semi can do all the things you can do with a scooter, the opposite is not true.

Seems like a pretty lousy work situation when you have LLMs but no decent IDE.

You can't ("shouldn't") take a semi on a sidewalk or down a narrow alley.

You may be able to lane split in a semi, but it also has excessive environmental impact.

The LLM only has to parse the request and farm out execution to the LSP. It saves you from having to find the function definition.
