alt Hacker NewsI like how people come up with some analogy (and all analogies are wrong by definition) and then attack said analogy and based on that make a declaration on the original statement. But what if we use a different analogy: basically using an LLM is like skipping the whole learning process - not learning how to read, not learning how to write and not learning how to think, then what?

Learning to read, learning to write, learning to think, only have value because of the outcomes they produce.
If the outcomes can be reached with just AI, then AI has all the value.

I take this same argument and fold it slightly.
Think back to Cliff's Notes. A student has a paper due. They are low on time. They use Cliff's Notes to help them write a paper and get at least a passing grade.
If the student does this one time or for an occasional crunch, there's not a big issue.
If the student does this all the time, and then later complains they didn't get a good education, who should have the accountability for that?
