Is it legitimate to use llms for learning stuff, or is it detrimental?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvVfayoeMkM
>>109241503If you can't find a suitable community you can ask it if you understood something correctly. The problem is that you need to phrase everything in a way that it's gloating nodes don't activate and just say that you are totally right that the internet is just a series of tubes
>>109241503this goes out to every junior or student.STOP LEARNING WITH LLMsthere, you and your brain will thank me later
>>109241503They are really good at finding you sources and roughly summarizing those sources, but you should make the LLM prove every factual statement it makes in those summaries from source citations or better yet, check the sources yourself. So, the models are great for giving you the resources to learn from, but not very good at directly teaching you. I have gotten a lot of value from these models by using them to discover new parts of a field that I want to learn and being able to quickly orienting myself towards the best resources to learn it. I no longer have to parse a ton of forum posts just to find the best resources and get the lay of the land, which has always been a pain point for me in the past as forums are always catty places full of pedantic disagreements but with lots of valuable information mixed in. Kind of like this board, but I like you autists enough to read your bullshit and contribute my own.
>>109241503You can't learn math with a calculator, and you can't learn to think by using AI to think for you.
>>109241503buy an ad
LLMs taught me enough to fake my way through a 5-loop senior engineering pipeline after having shirked work at shittily run startups for like 10 years
>>109241503You basically end up having to read all the sources anyway to make sure the AI isn't lying to you. Retarded fad technology that won't go away until bullets start connecting.
I use it to check my homework for mistakes. not really ideal but I still do it.
>>109241503it's generally very legitimatebut most SaaS LLM are hell. censorship, ever changing and discontinued models, bait bullshit and low capabilities, limted tokens, ads, you name it.basically stick to "i didn't understand <specific thing> can you try to explain that again" or some such
>>109241503No one cares about your ludder opinion, snailcat
>>109241517If you try to use it to learn programming it's hard to stop it from just doing the work for you instead of explain why and how it works.I think LLMs can be used to teach, but they aren't quite suitable for it by default.
LLMs are orders of magnitudes better than human teachers. If reading this makes you asshurt, then you will be one of the people left behind.

>>109241831This, when you're dealing with something unfamiliar, there's a process of discovery you need to go through in order to get a basic handle on terminology, basic concepts, memes, sources of truth, etc. Because LLMs have been trained on every forum post and meme blog in existence, it can tldr a bunch of cultural shit, then point you at sources of truth. Curiously, at the source of truth level a lot of LLM shit starts to fall apart, but paradoxically they can often still be very helpful in tactics within those sources. It's almost like having a really shitty bodyguard who "knows homies" in every city and an insane amount of trivia, but is always high af and lives for zany side quests.

>>109243022When you realize only brown kids say "no u", you're gone flip.
>>109241503It's a great tool, specially if you are skeptical of it. Serves well for sanity checking yourself and your assumptions In whatever you are learning.>>109241831>>109243016Also true.
