alt Hacker NewsI sometimes get vague ideas for solving maths/science problems. They never pan out but i can talk in detail on group theory and advanced maths and science topics due to investigating such vague ideas over the years. These days the LLM shoots the ideas down instantly and honestly correctly, i know enough to know "yeah that's right, oh well" and move on. Which actually takes away a huge avenue of learning. I'm pretty torn on the outcome of this honestly.
I'm not 'wasting time' but I'm also not really learning.
I felt this. I had a feeling for a long time that spider solitaire was somehow related to knot theory (legal moves being Reidemeister move equivalents and untangling). Llm shot this idea down very quickly! It was freeing actually.
