    Color me skeptical. LLMs seem to make writing code faster, so of course that means that people can iterate on ideas faster, but I have yet to see actual creative output from an LLM that wasn't coached into it or random juxtaposition.

      ... provided you keep eyes closed when examining the output.

      To those gulled by the AI coding hype, I suggest try a trivial code task with e.g. immediate feedback in a domain you can swiftly verify e.g. HTML or SVG. Your red pill.

      Example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chatgpt.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;6ac0d871-6314-83eb-990a-41baed964246" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chatgpt.com&#x2F;share&#x2F;6ac0d871-6314-83eb-990a-41baed9642...

          Or &quot;Try harder&quot; does! :)
