- that you spend no amount of time looking things up, reorganising, or otherwise getting stuck
- that you have a solution to the problem ready to go at all times
- that your solution is better than the LLM's solution
I highly, highly doubt that all 3 of these are true. I doubt even 1 of them is true, I think you just don't know how to use LLMs in a focused way.
I use AI to look things up and I try to learn. That part is speed up, but once I know how X works I’m faster doing it myself. My assumption is that most people seeing things differently, compare their performance of not knowing how X works with Claude, but not with someone who’s really good at X. Which makes a lot of sense given LLMS are prediction generators. My take is that the best use of AI is to get you to the point where you are really good with X and then naturally your AI usage will go down.
