It sounded like the author is not trying to learn, say, how to run a business, but instead just proxies output of an unthinking tool. After the former, you come out with new knowledge and skill. After the latter, you come out none the wiser.
> Does the workings of such merit your curiosity?
Not really, if the workings of such are well-understood (like in case of LLMs).
> Or are you merely and ignorant person already left behind
You think you are mounting a personal attack that would make me feel humiliated, but you need to check who would be ignorant after what I outlined in the beginning of my comment.

This reads like "bla bla bla" without any support. Let's try to dissect what you are saying 1. You are saying that LLMs are "unthinking tools" what is that? It does appear to be a made up word. What does it mean? 2. You set up a dichotomy between using this "unthinking tool" and running a business. Can you please point me to the passage where the commenter is saying that they are only doing one or the other, and not both? 3. You say that you become non the wiser by using this "unthinking tool". Would you extend that to all similar activities? Such as reading a book, reason blog articles, receiving lectures etc? > but you need to check who would be ignorant after what I outlined in the beginning of my comment. After you establishing false dichotomies and using non-existing words? You demonstrate neither being able to reason or use knowledge. The hallucinations from an LLM is strictly more useful that the hallucinations from you - At least they can be corrected.
