It's not at all obvious because there's more than one way to go about it. Obviously entirely outsourcing is bad. Whereas working cooperatively seems highly beneficial to me.

Google search has been getting progressively worse for technical topics for at least the past decade. Now suddenly they started providing a free tutor capable of custom tailoring graduate level explanations of technical topics for me on demand. The difference is night and day.

How do you know that the explanations are free from error?

Sure there's more than one way to go about it, but what matters is how people typically do go about it.

And certainly individuals can make their own decision to engage with an LLM in positive, self-thought-provoking ways, but it's still useful to understand how people generally do use them in the real world.
