LLMs allow you to go from "random idea" to "a thing that vaguely works" way, way faster.

This is the crucial phase where most ideas die.

The time between "huh, maybe…" to "this kind of works!"

Once an idea gets to viable, it coheres on its own; choosing to incrementally extend it makes sense, and you are more likely to naturally do it.

Before that point, every incremental unit of time has to go into a thing that will likely never work and might be wasted effort.

So you're less likely to do it.

You effectively have to cross the chasm, from a non-viable idea to a viable one.

But LLMs, for lots of simple projects, allow you to leap over the chasm.

If everyone could be a wizard with LLMs, we'd have way more viable ideas as society to build on.
