It feels like toil because it's not the interesting or engaging part of the work.

If you're going to build a piece of furniture. The cutting, nailing, gluing are the "boiler plate" that you have to do around the act of creation.

LLM's are just nail guns.

At least for me when woodworking, the cutting, nailing, and gluing are the fun bits. The sanding and finishing is the grunt work/boilerplate.

The AI BAD folks camping in this thread would be angry that you're still producing work that requires sanding.

		Not me, because I know how to avoid falling into nonsense speculation based on worthless analogies :D Sand away! Enjoy copying and pasting your nails, or having LLMs apply your varnish or whatever. I hope it brings happiness.

and sanding. don't forget sanding. 90% of building furniture is sanding.

Maybe nail guns that have a chance to randomly shoot nails into your leg and apologize when you ask why it did that.

Great analogy. As someone else pointed out in a different subthread, quality furniture isn't held together with nails.
