Even if you use a tool to do work, you still have to understand how your work will be checked to see whether it meets expectations. If the expectation is X, and your tool gives you Y, then you’ve failed - no matter if you could have done X by hand from scratch or not, it doesn’t really matter, because what counts is whether the person checking your work can verify that you’ve produced X. You agreed to deliver X, and you gave them Y instead. So why should you learn to do X when the LLM can do it for you? Because unless you know how to do X yourself, how will you be able to verify whether the LLM has truly done X? Your kid needs to learn to understand what the person grading them is expecting, and deliver something that meets those expectations. That sounds like so much bullshit when you’re a kid, but I wish I had understood it when I was younger.
