I'd argue 2 types of users are

* People using it as a tool, aware of its limitations and treating it basically as intern/boring task executor (whether its some code boilerplate, or pooping out/shortening some corporate email), or as tool to give themselves summary of topic they can then bite into deeper.

* People outsourcing thinking and entire skillset to it - they usually have very little clue in the topic, are interested only in results, and are not interested in knowing more about the topic or honing their skills in the topic

The second group is one that thinks talking to a chatbot will replace senior developer

To me this misses a third group, those using these tools as a series of virtual teammates, a mock team member with which to ping pong possibilities.

This is actually the greatest use case I see, and interact with.

Yea I am an ENFP. While I don’t think MBTI is scientific, it captures perfectly that I have the tendency to think out loud.

LLMs make me think out loud way better.

Best rubber duck ever.

Felt very weird reading this on HN and not r/ENFPmemes. I agree completely.
