I agree with this.

For the completely uninitiated, taking the most critical code paths uncovered via profiling and asking an LLM to rewrite it to be more efficient might give an average user some help in optimization. If your code takes more than a few minutes to run, you definitely should invest in learning how to profile, common optimizations, hardware latencies and bandwidths, etc.

With most everything I use at the consumer level these days, you can just feel the excessive memory allocations and network latency oozing out of it, signaling the inexperience or lack of effort of the developers.
