IME, being forced to write about something or verbally explaining/enumerating things in detail _by itself_ leads to a lot of clarity in the writer's thoughts, irrespective of if there's an LLM answering back.

People have been doing rubber-duck-debugging since long. The metaphorical duck (LLMs in our context), if explained to well, has now started answering back with useful stuff!

One thing LLMs have been incredibly strong even since gpt-3.5 is being the most advanced non-human rubber duck, and while they can do plenty more, that alone provides (me at least) with tremendous utility.
