This is true for autodidacts. I am one, and the same is true for me.

It is absolutely not true for most people. Most people need a human guide to show them the way. I am living this now with my two kids, both of whom need instruction (and also help from mom and dad).

That's kinda what it looks like we'll be able to make these models do, though. The tech is young still. All those erroneous hallucinations and patent lying (which are admittedly very present in the current crop) may well be managed soon enough - then all it takes is getting it to talk (solved), listen (solved), and provide some kind of direction / steering (not quite solved). With all that, you can have a guidance counselor for everyone.

Caveat, of course, this is an extreme power tool vis a vis human development, and as such, can do just as much harm as good depending on it's use. This is why it's so damn important that we keep this stuff open source - if it's behind walled gardens, you end up with _actual, real shadowy cabals effortlessly manipulating all of everybody_, a thing that you may or may not be convinced exists already but guaranteed under those circumstances.
