This is the difference between "vibe coding" and using them as development aids. If you just tell them to build the finished product the code that you get might work but be absolutely horribly architectured. If you yourself know how to do proper software development you can steer them to produce good results - precisely because you tell them to refactor duplicated code or use specific libraries etc.
Another way of phrasing it is that they're really good at getting to 80% without help but unless you spend some time on the details the final 20% might be quite painful.

@troed @Retreival9096 my main use of LLM is to tell me what libraries are out there I could use. "Don't write code, tell me what library or tool exists and give me some URLs"
