It is possible to use LLMs this way. If you're careful. But at every place where you can use LLMs to outsource mechanical tasks, there will also be a temptation to outsource the full stack of conceptual tasks that allow you to be part of what's going on. This will create gaps where you're not sitting at any level of the abstraction hierarchy, you're just skipping parts of the system. That temptation will be greater for less experienced people, and for folks still learning the field. That's what I'm scared about.
