AI is great at exposing you to what you don’t even know you don’t know: your personal unknown unknowns, the complexity you’re completely unaware of.
Are you somehow equating basic multiplication to a "bad long term decision"?
> llms can get me started really fast. Basically it distills the time taken to research
I was saying that it speeds up research by exposing you to the things you don’t know that you don’t know.
Or the things that it has hallucinated, or just referenced incorrectly.
That's my point. You're talking about learning basic maths from a school teacher who isn't a Calculus expert, but the thread is talking about learning maths from a kid with ADHD who completes the homework before the teacher has finished describing what needs to be done, but sometimes returns homework in an invented language with references to Cthulhu throughout it.
> the llm doesn't make good long term decisions
What could possibly go wrong, using something you know makes bad decisions, as the basis of your learning something new.
It's like if a dietician instructed a client to go watch McDonald's staff, when they ask how to cook the type of meals that have been recommended.
