Don't think what I described was ping-ponging. But if you want to see it that way, go ahead.
To clarify my process.
1) I have a problem in a new domain that I'm stuck on.
2) I work with the LLM to discuss my problem, think about solutions, get things to try. Not unlike StackOverflow or digging through documentation. However this process is much faster and I learn more without being called stupid by random people on SO (or HN).
3) The problem is fixed and I move on, or back to 1 or try something else.
The value here is that I have a problem to solve and I'm seeing it through to the end. I know what good looks like and have the agency and attention span to get there. The LLM doesn't and likely won't for quite some time.

Just like anything else, stackoverflow, advice from a coworker or expert. If it doesn’t work, it will become clear that it’s not fixing your problem.
If all you’re doing is ping-ponging back and forth between an expert and an LLM, then what’s your value ?
