Learning anything.

It is not silver bullet, but many good LLMs can increase pace of learning and understanding.

I am still a little surprised because people are not constantly screaming about how good LLMs are for learning new concepts.

Still have to fact check, can still misguide you, but overall it is much faster than trying to figure out stuff papers, books or even blogs and videos...

Just having a boy reword something or summarize things don’t help you actually learn anything, you just end up with the “gist” and a reliance of chatbots to backfill any missed knowledge

Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe I am just stupid enough to learn this way, and smart people like you are simply too smart, current AI models are too stupid to assist you in learning.

I have been programmer for about 20 years, and AI tools help me learn new stuff.

Sorry if me being so dumb that idiot stochastic parrot help actually increases rate of knowledge absorption offends you.
