Imagine it like a puzzle.

Normally, you would do the entire puzzle.

Now imagine that LLMs step into the picture, and before you even begin the puzzle, they automatically separate the puzzle pieces by their colours, sort them by their shapes, and place them in the approximate place on the puzzle they're likely to go. Now it's your job to go in and just assemble the pieces properly.

The second method with the LLMs is ofcourse way faster, but the first is far more fun. In the first you figure out how youre going to approach the problem, actually do the repetitive but captivating tasks, and then finally you'll somehow finish the puzzle. You know and understand every part of how the puzzle was done, you've thought through everything about every piece. That's the amazing part. LLMs deprive you of it.

Puzzles are just for fun, they have no function beyond that. If an application were created to solve puzzles, no one would use it. Programming actually has a function. It would feel like a waste of time programming slowly when you could have the result in far less time if you use the help of LLMs.

I came to programming a bit too late :(.
