I was hype on them initially, but after a few months of using them, I find that they are only useful for simple questions, and for coding help with syntax for basic things I have forgotten.

Anything more complex just turns into an irritating back and forth game that when I finally arrive at the solution, I feel like I wasted my time not getting practical experience, but rather gaming a magic 8 ball into giving me what I wanted.

It just doesn't feel satisfying to me to use them anymore. I don't deny that they improve my productivity, but its at the cost of enjoying what i do. I was never able to enter that feeling of zen flow, while using LLMs regularly.
