Fun fact, I recently started reading Designing LLM Applications[0] (which I'm very much enjoying by the way) and it draws this exact analogy in the intro!
I swear I didn't steal mine from there, LOL. Maybe I'm on the right track if others are noticing similar things about the experience of using LLMs, though.
Yes exactly, I meant it as evidence that there is something to this insight. Also that it stuck with me in the book enough to make the connection when I saw your comment; it's that it struck me as a good point.
