Remember:

  1. The effort needed to babysit the LLM to ensure it is producing the correct output is always equal to the effort needed to do the work yourself, and,
  2. The computer is only ever as smart as the idiot who punched its deck in the first place.

I don't think its ALWAYS true that the effort is equal. I think that for important things that need to have very low error rates it is going to be equal or exceed. But if you are doing creative writing and have writers block. Generative AI can help give ideas that can be helpful even if wrong because you can identify why they are wrong which might point you in the right direction.
