I've found LLMs helpful for figuring out what I don't know, then I can go and look up how those things work, again together with an LLM.
But in the past, once I got to the point where I know I could maybe do something about it, but not exactly what, and I don't know any of the domain words used, you got pretty much stuck unless you asked other people, either locally or on the internet.
At least now I can explore what I don't know, and decide if it's relevant or not. It's really helpful when diving into new topics, because it gives you a starting point.
I would never send something to a real human that a LLM composed without me, I still want to write and decide everything 100% myself, but I use more LLMs as a powerful search engine where you can put synonyms or questions and get somewhat fine answers from it.
Absolutely. It's cheap (as far as the user is concerned) to just fire off a question. And it can even be really fuzzy/ambiguous/ill-defined sometimes. It's a great starting point.
