If it’s just mirroring you one could argue you don’t really need it? Not trying to be a prick, if it is a good tool for you use it! It sounds to me as though your using it as a sounding board and that’s just about the perfect use for an LLM if I could think of any.

So couldn’t we say LLM’s aren’t really AI? Cuz that’s what I’ve seen to come to terms with.
