> Since LLMs spit out LOTS of text, a person may waste lots of valuable time simply meandering through responses, and trying to keep it all in their head.

That is called "doing your job correctly". If you aren't actually understanding what the LLM puts out and reviewing it, you are going to get burned sooner or later.

Depends on what phase of the foraging you're doing. Working with AIs can mean anything from "be a google I can talk to" to "solve this very concrete problem right now". The rabbit hole potentials are very different for each one.

But what if all your coworkers are doing it, so by taking the time to understand and review LLM output you’re painting a target on your back? Anyway I’m not getting burned- the company is.
