I'm guessing you're talking about using AI tools to tell you things about parts of the code base you're new to? If so, this has been a big help for me too as someone who just started a new job.
Cursor has been my tool of choice for that lately. It can give links between files and then I can go look at the files it found, using my ~8 years of professional experience to read that code myself and come to my own conclusions.
I agree that we don't have to pick either not using LLMs at all or using them to do our thinking for us. It's a spectrum and there are plenty of ways to use them on that spectrum.

@mattwelke@mstdn.ca A lot of it is having it construct the absurd parameter sets of aws cli commands (on non production). Who can trawl all that documentation!?
