> LLMs should not be seen as knowledge engines but as confidence engines.
The thing I like best about LLM is when I ask question about some technical problem, and it tells that it is a KNOWN problem. It thus gives me confiidence that I don't need to spend time) to look for solution where there is no good soloution. Just go around it somehow. It let's me know I'm not the only person with this problem. And that way it gives me confidence that I'm not stupid, the problem is a real problem.
As an example I was working with WebStorm and tried to find a way to make the Threads-tab the default tab shown when debugger opens. AI told me there is no way it knows about. Good, problem solved, solved by finding out there is no solution.
