- LLMs help articulate thoughts that were previously understood but not clearly expressed.
- Much of our knowledge is tacit, especially in fields like programming, where intuition often precedes explicit understanding.
- LLMs excel at converting vague structures into clear language, aligning with our internal models and producing a sense of recognition.
- Articulating thoughts in words makes them easier to inspect, refine, and improve.
- Writing down ideas transforms vague intuitions into named distinctions and visible assumptions.
- Using LLMs speeds up the process of refining thoughts and encourages deeper thinking.
- Regularly articulating thoughts with LLMs improves one's ability to notice and express what they truly think.
