Honestly, I really did do this for a while, mostly in response to comments like this, with some degree of excitement.

I've been disappointed every time.

I do use the LLMs for summarization and "a better google" and am constantly confronted with how inaccurate they are.

I haven't tried with code in the past couple months because to be completely honest, I just don't care.

I enjoy my craft, I enjoy puzzling and thinking through better ways of doing things, I like being confronted with a tedious task because it pushes me towards finding more optimal approaches.

I haven't seen any research that justifies the use of LLMs for code generation, even in the short term, and plenty that supports my concerns about mid to long term impact on quality and skills.

So the TL;DR version is: nah.
