  • LLMs are best used to fill in a scaffolding a human sets up.
    • LLM generated stuff is like sand.
    • A good space filler, but doesn't have enough shape on its own.
    • You can create sandcastles, but only up to a point.
    • Past some critical point, the sand can't hold up weight, or even its own structure.
    • But if you put the right scaffolding into place and use the LLM sand to fill it in, it can be extremely strong.
    • With the right scaffolding, the shape is default-converging.
    • Just fill it up with the right material and you're done.
    • You can make amazing structures out of gap-fillers if you put them in the right structure.
