This Website & My Open-Source Work
I do not use LLMs to generate text and then pretend that I wrote it. It does not write my blog posts, emails or open-source code. On my blog, the point of writing an article is to think about a topic. If I outsourced the writing, I would also outsource the thinking. And then, what would be the point of writing it at all?
I sometimes use LLMs as a search engine when I can easily tell whether it is giving a correct answer. Things like “what’s the syntax of a for loop with increment 2 in Lua”.
I also sometimes ask an LLM to review my code for bugs or security holes. I then take the insights critically. For instance, I verify them against the library or language documentation to ensure the feedback is actually useful.
In general
At work, I weigh the trade-offs between long-term maintainability, my time, the cost of the model and established team practices.
