The LLM is helping you hangdog your way up a mountain you have no business climbing. And when you get to the top you’ll feel very accomplished but you did nothing really. The LLM pulled you up by brute force.
If there's a treasure chest at the top of the mountain, no one cares how you got there. It's not always about the feeling of accomplishment.
