Taking your statement at face value I'd be tempted to say it's fair to ask an LLM how to do small things at the "few lines of code" level. For instance if you're not sure how to get the length of a string in language X or don't know off the top of your head how to use CSS to move an object a few px higher up without changing the layout of everything else it might be quicker than asking Google, looking at the docs. I do it a lot these days.
My first instinct though is that struggling people often have poor insight into their problem. When I was teaching physics I heard "I understand the concepts but can't solve the problem" a lot. Invariably when I'd help the student debug the problem solving process I found that they didn't understand the concepts.
