I have so many mixed feelings about this...

On one side, as an engineer, Did you really expected to delegate thinking to a Large Language Model? On the other side, How human of the author to believe the illusion that fluency means knowledge, can't fault him for that.

On one side, so you discover that the development of your personal skills can be stilled to a set of instructions to an LLM? How much more of you are you willing to capitulate? On the other hand, I think is brave to write the article confessing his growth.

There will be a generation were had been trained using the current teaching methods where education in it self is a product as opposed the gym where the brain develop muscles. The muscles end up been develop at work. This is not about "seniority", this is about the character to develop yourself, to welcome the challenge. Which I guess good for him, he has it.

Reading these kind of things for me is weird.

(btw. I don't like the term AI because there is no I in AI, but that is a different talk, or maybe that self awareness is what makes it so confusing)
