an llm has touched over 90% of the code i wrote

Helped: Implementing researched algorithms and acting as an upgraded rubber ducky.

Got in the way: Required fixing almost all generated code due to lack of expertise.

… its just an upgraded rubber ducky to me. If i wasn't experienced in computer science this would all fall apart however i do have to fix almost all the code, but spending 10 mins fixing something is better than 3 days figuring it out in the first place (again this might be more unique to my coding and learning style)
