That's how I use LLMs for programming. I predominately use the chatbots instead of the CLI tools. Every so often, I'll ask for a one-shot of some MVP, but then I take that MVP and make all the changes myself. However, I must say that I rarely do the one-shot-and-edit style of development. I find that such a process can save time, but not always.
