What's so special about that? It's basically just googling, but it takes a second instead of an hour. With the added downside that you don't learn a thing, so you'll never be able to do it without AI.
whether you learn something new or not it's up to you, not the ai
likewise, you can copy and paste from SO and learn nothing
exactly. ppl are like "AI can't teach you anything" and i'm like "well if you make zero effort to learn, you won't learn from humans either"
See, a teacher will give you a task to solve, preferably on your own, to teach you a thing. They won't give you a task and the solution so you can look at the solution and go "ah, yes, I understand".
A good teacher will do that. And even the best teacher can’t force you to learn if you don’t want to. LLMs can be a powerful tool for learning if you’re sufficiently motivated.
We're obviously talking about ideal situations because it is impossible in a normal conversation to acknowledge every single aberration. Regardless, if you learn by looking at the solution and going "i understand", you're doing yourself a disservice.
are you aware that there is more than one way to learn something
Sure. Most people learn best using variations on task solving.
"claude, what is 'using variations on task solving'"
Well? What's it saying?
actually the last time i talked to claude was the day i was committed to the psych ward. i was just fucking with it, but i fucked with it a little too hard, and it refused to respond to me because it said i was dangerously insane
so if you want the AI to shut the fuck up for a little while, that's what you do
Cool, thanks for the advice. I find just not using it works fine. Also seems to help with staying on topic in a conversation and not shoving my medical history into everything.
look at what you made me do, you made me dig through your controversial comments to find one where you shoved your medical history into everything.
"I have ADHD and probably also the 'tism and I’ve never felt like hurting others or myself after eating sauce that happened to be red because it contained red ingredients. After eating anything, really, for that matter.
"

Do you think that might be because it made sense in the context? Because it was relevant to the topic?
But how does that statement contribute to anything?
Alright, I can see you're not actually interested in the conversation we were having.
i'm replying from my inbox so i have no idea what we were originally talking about, lmaoooo
maybe next time project less?
here’s a trick: treat the ai like a rubber duck. dig deeper with places like devdocs.io and you find you’ll be learning …
are you aware that you can use the AI to explain the code it wrote for you?
The comment suggests that that is not the case here.
>highlight code
>copy paste code into AI agent
>add "?"
so simple even you can do it, lmaoooo
Except you are not getting an explanation. Sheesh, do we really need to go all over the "token prediction machine is unable to understand" iteration, again?
except you ARE getting an explanation. it doesn't matter that the AI doesn't know what it's doing. do YOU know what you're doing? do you have any idea how your brain puts words together to form phrases and sentences? of course you don't
Lol. Once again: I am not getting an explanation, see hallucinated functions and packages (that never happened, right?)
I know what I am doing, which is exactly why I get paid for my code.
And we know a lot more about how we think than you imagine, lol. Like, humans do not think in words. But you did not know that, did you?
based on your complaints about LLMs, it sounds like you've just convinced yourself that anything you code is better than what an LLM would do. you sound like a major narcissist, and i'm going to run my mental health diagnosis bot on your publicly available comment history.
So you have no evidence or anything else of substance to prove that your statements are true. Have a good day
i'm replying from my inbox so i don't kn ow what you're talking about
About sums it up:)
Don't bother, it's like the flat earthers all over again.
