Can you name anything you've learned from an LLM? Start your essay with what you've learned from AI as your opening paragraph. Write by hand as if you had been educated to do so. List one or more specific instances in which an LLM gave you knowledge which you would take forward and use productively, as your own integrated knowledge, in such a way that you would be consistently able to apply it to novel problems and circumstances on your own.

I won't down vote you, because you simply misunderstood me. Of course I'm using this incredible technology to accelerate writing code.

If you never learned the value of learning itself, for its own sake, you have everything to gain from a world in which skills like learning and thinking for yourself are useless. I can hardly blame you for that.

But as someone who has learned by teaching others, people who in turn will learn by teaching others, I don't find your belief in someone else doing the work for you to be particularly sustainable. Or convincing. Regardless of whether I think it's contemptible, lazy, or damaging to your mind, which isn't my problem.
