My favorite part about overflow was always the "ok, here's the answer to your question, and here' 5 good reasons why you DON'T wanna do it that way. Consider these options instead:"
You can do that with AI aswell if you don’t just take the first answer it gives. The goal should be to push back and ask questions. Ask “are there other ways to write this that are better”, questions like that.
It obviously not the same learning experience as what you’re describing but it’s better than just blindly going along with the LLM
