I’ve heard from several students that LLMs have been really useful to them in that “where the !^%8 do I even start?!” phase of learning a new language, framework, or tool. Documentation frequently fails to share common idioms; discovering the right idiom in the current context is often difficult. And “What’s a pattern that fits here, never mind the correctness of the details?” is a great question for an LLM.
Alas, the AI hype is around LLMs •replacing• thought, not •prompting• it.
