Chat did work for some operations for me but not many.

My screwdrivers, drills, planes, and all the rest don't tell me how to use them and I think that you need to treat LLMs in the same way.

They can provide an insight or a prod or whatever that gets you over the line but I do not think that they are ... AI of any sort.

I can cut say 12mm of plywood with a panel saw within an accuracy of about 1mm if I am careless. If I take more care, I can do way better. Depends on the job. However, I have to keep my eye in.

Chat will get the basics right but will hallucinate badly when it comes to libraries like https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki

Just like a slightly blunt chisel, you have to treat Chat and co in the same way - they are tools. No more and no less. You need to know how to sharpen them up (oil and a whetstone).
