I believe I have a counterpoint: Rubber duck debugging is old. Older than coding, older than the Industrial Revolution. If talking to an LLM is just rubber duck debugging, where have all these solutions been, for the decades and centuries before AI came about? If it’s all smoke and mirrors, then the fact that we hadn’t solved those problems already would be pretty embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
