I would be happy with an RStudio demo that gets the AI out of the way of
filepath autocomplete.

I wonder if more could be said about *how* to demonstrate the use of
LLMs. All the bad things people do with LLMs (and Stack Overflow) are
opportunities to demonstrate a better way.
So we could show getting some code from an LLM, and then the steps of
examining variables and understanding their types, inserting debugging
"print" statements, looking up documentation, considering alternative
solutions, and explaining our thought process.
It's not so different from the skills needed to read other people's code.
Since LLM output is random it's hard to script this fully, but that
also seems in keeping with the Carpentries workshop format.
