This is why I don’t understand the calculator analogy. Letting beginners use LLMs is like if we gave kids calculators in 1st grade and told Timmy he never needs to learn 2 + 2. That’s not how education works today.

I think this is exactly why calculators are a great analogy, and a hint toward how we should probably treat LLMs.
