> A hair dryer isn't very useful at drying clothes. More useful for drying clothes than a blender would be though. Or an LLM for that matter. No real point here I just thought it was an interesting example you used because it's still something that does work if you're lacking better options > Another example is getting take out vs cooking the meal yourself Interesting analogy Buying ingredients and Cooking for yourself is almost guaranteed to be cheaper and healthier for your body in the long run. It's pretty difficult to eat out cheaply and very difficult to eat out healthily. I dunno, might turn out to be some parallels there. I suspect that much like eating too much takeout, LLM usage makes us less fit. |

So far it seems that we can't all be good/capable at everything.
Maybe you write all your own code and cook your own meals, but do you do your own taxes? would you defend yourself in court? would you fix your car yourself?
Some people may answer yes to all the above, but most people outsource most things. Many people can't afford to outsource to other people, but can afford to outsource to LLMs.
Again it comes down to the job to be done:
- does the person want to develop or practice a skill, or do they just want it done? What is their budget, and how important is it to them to minimize certain risks?
