I assure you, working with LLMs is intellectually challenging, and becomes more so as the technology matures.

It really really really depends on how you are using it and what you are using it for.

I can get LLMs to write most CSS I need by treating it like a slot machine and pulling the handle till it spits out what I need, this doesnt cause me to learn CSS at all.

I find it intellectually exhausting to describe to a machine what I want, when I could build something better in the same amount of time, and it isn't for lack of understanding how the LLM works.

It takes a lot of cajoling to get an LLM to produce a result I want to use. It takes no cajoling for me to do it myself.

The only time "AI" helps is in domains that I am unfamiliar with, and even then it's more miss than hit.
