I have access to so many videos and even video games that teach me exactly how to perform as a world class athlete.

If I don’t exercise, will I ever become one?

That analogy sounds good on the surface, but breaks down quickly. In the context of sport/athletics it's your body doing the work, which is difficult to change without exercise (even with steroids). But for knowledge work, as long as you have access to the llm machine, you can quickly pretend it's your work. For students it can be very deceiving, they type their ideas on a device, one button fixes their spelling, another button "fixes" their wording. The line is very blurry, literally the divider in the UI between these two buttons.
