alt Hacker NewsI have found the one of the better use cases of llms to be a rubber duck.
Explaining a design, problem, etc and trying to find solutions is extremely useful.
I can bring novelty, what I often want from the LLM is a better understanding of the edge cases that I may run into, and possible solutions.
I always find folks bringing up rubber ducking as a thing LLMs are good at to be misguided. IMO, what defines rubber ducking as a concept is that it is just the developer explaining what their doing to themselves. Not to another person, and not to a thing pretending to be a person. If you have a "two way" or "conversational" debugging/designing experience it isnt rubber ducking, its just normal design/debugging.
The moment I bring in a conversational element, I want a being that actually has problem comprehension and creativity which an LLM by definition does not.
