I appreciate Simon's balanced take on how LLMs can enhance a project when used responsibly.

I'm curious, though—what are this community's opinions on the use of LLMs in programming?

I've recently been asked to help some folks on the biz side automate tasks "with ai" and I've had very good results having gemini write apps script to do automations via google sheets.

For example HR wanted this for workshops they run "Write an Apps Script function to use the employee email list on sheet2 to create random teams of 4 and record the teams on sheet3. Use the template on sheet1 to write an email notification to each team and then send it."

Worked on the first try and the code is decent.
