We are agreeing, I'm arguing against that dichotomy from the other direction—you don’t always need to know everything under-the-hood. You also can’t always ignore everything under-the-hood.

Sometimes you can get the job done by using a tool like a genie, and that’s awesome (it’s the goal of abstractions IMO). Sometimes you can’t.

You don't always need exhaustive "proof that it works" other than running the thing and looking at the output.

If you can get the job done with an LLM without understanding the code it wrote, then that's awesome. I've seen it multiple times with non-technical people who just want to do some small thing with a Python script. They solve their problem, send their report/email, and move on.
