Sure I use LLMs in my workflows. I use a calculator too.

I can divide 98,324,672,722 by 161,024 by hand. At least I used to be able to do, but nobody is going to pay me to do that when a calculator exists.

Likewise I can write a bunch of assembly (well OK I can't), but why would I do that when my compiler can convert my intention into it.

yeah but will you promise to do it by hand and then use a calculator?

Or will you have every intention to keep the promise but it would seem such a chore by now (cuz calculator is such a part of your workflow) that you would minimize the sanctity of your promise in your mind?

If yes, that's dependency, not usual use.

(I just learned that choosing no-LLM also meant no-LLM on their own papers, so I am less generous with motivations now. Wasn't dependency, just plain old self-interest. Thanks for your point.)
