This never happens, you will first learn from a book or tutorials.

But your idea is sound, have Microsoft buy books from the authors and train the LLM on those books then have the LLM solve new problems. If is an AI and not a text interpolating tool then it should be able to learn like humans from a few books.

I have learned to code almost entirely from reading code. I hate tutorials and books.

I occasionally skim docs but mainly for the code examples.

So "never happens" is a curious take.
