However on AWS the difference between "generally working the way it should and not working the way it should" can be a 30,000$ cloud bill racked up in a few hours with EC2 going full speed ahead mining bitcoin.

For those high stakes cases maybe you can be more careful. You can still use an LLM to search and get references to the appropriate place and do your own verification.

But for low stakes LLM works just fine - not everything is going to blow up to a 30,000 bill.

In fact I'll take the complete opposite stance - verifying your design with an LLM will help you _save_ money more often than not. It knows things you don't and has awareness of concepts that you might have not even read about.
