For me using AI as an entry point into developing my own small tools for personal use, this is incredibly useful. I can start with a concept, fail miserably, then scrap it and try again a few times in an evening. And instead of brute forcing something over that time I can hand off analysis to an LLM and read about better solutions or learn more about what I'm trying to implement.
