One use of LLMs that I haven’t seen mentioned before is to use them as a sounding board for your own ideas. By discussing your concept with an LLM, you can gain fresh perspectives through its generated responses.
In this context, the LLM’s actual comprehension is irrelevant. The purpose lies in its ability to spark new thought processes by prompting you with unexpected framings or questions.
Definitely recommend trying this trick next time you’re writing something.
I’ve noticed that as well. A lot of the time you can use the arguing to refine your own idea and just use the other party to provide you with a feedback loop. :)
