I've been using claude.ai a lot more recently in development, not to generate code but to talk through ideas and potential implementations.
I think of it like someone I'm pair programming with. Once you get used to structuring the questions & prompts in the right way, you can get a surprising amount of feedback and learning done before writing the first line of code.
LLMs are decent Jr devs and decent architects but man do they fall over with Rust most of the time.

that's because rust is a ridiculously complex language
I don't agree. Once I got the major patterns I've found it pretty intuitive.
That said, LLMs do seem to struggle with it more than stuff like JS. You have to really ask lots of questions or scope the space to get a good answer.
