What hit me ( hard ) wasn't the blogging set up, it was this:
>And if anything’s unclear, LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude are great for filling in the gaps.
For people like me who grown up before Internet was a thing. If we dont understand anything we either have to go to the library to look it up go to find someone for help. Then it was encarta. When Internet arrived I could do look up faster, or more importantly if I am stuck anywhere I could ask on IRC or forums for help.
I am sensing a large part of learning on forums and online will be gone. Read the manual becomes ask the LLMs?
And I am sensing ( no offence ) the generation growing up with LLMs may be far worst. We already have a generation of people who think Googling the answer is 99% of the work when in fact the answer is not important. It is the process of getting to that answer that is largely missing from today's education.
Sorry about the off topic message. But that sentence really hit me differently.
Processes are always changing and getting easier. The process you grew up with was far easier than what people had to do decades before you, which was easier than the process decades before that, etc.
It's easy to fret about, "How will the next generation survive in the world I grew up in, without the skills I developed?"
But the answer is, they won't. Just like you don't need the same skills a caveman had because you live in a thoroughly transformed world, the kids of today won't need the same skills you had because they'll live in a thoroughly transformed world.
Ofc some good or important things will always be lost from one generation to the next. But that's okay. Still, humanity marches onward.
