The syntax argument is correct, but from what I am seeing, people _are_ using it wrong, i.e. they have started offloading most of their problem solving to be LLM first, not just using it to maybe refine their ideas, but starting there.

That is a very real concern, I've had to chase engineers to ensure that they are not blindly accepting everything that the LLM is saying, encouraging them to first form some sense of what the solution could be and then use the LLM to refine it further.

As more and more thinking is offloaded to LLMs, people lose their gut instinct about how their systems are designed.
