    If you can’t know if it’s right or wrong, and have to double check it, why use it in the first place?

    “If you can’t trust that a friend solved a sudoku puzzle for you without checking it first, why even bother?”

    The obvious answer being that it’s much easier to check the solution to a sudoku puzzle than it is to solve it yourself. If you have reasonable means to check compared to going out and starting from scratch, then even a modest enough rate of correct answers can save a ton of time. LLMs don’t have that for me, but that’s also because I’ve been doing research as a hobby for 10 years.

    If you know anything about computation theory, there’s an entire class of problems for which checking a solution is (relatively) trivial but finding a correct one is highly non-trivial.
