That's... crazy. I can't imagine that. I do end up getting LLMs to get me very micro focussed TECHNICAL help, like a StackOverflow++ to get the perfect example. Or maybe spot the really silly errors in my code - but since I won't/have been contractually forbidden from us(e)(ing) it on any actual real work code, my use is pretty limited. Any other experiences have just ended up being a pure timewaste without decent result.
