This is (exactly) why I very strongly tell people not to teach themselves with an LLM. Particularly from the ground up. If you do not understand the domain, you cannot learn from the model because you won't know what questions to ask and it certainly isn't going to answer all of them for you.
- bonoboTP 2mo agoThe LLM doesn't have to be the sole single only exclusive source you learn from. It's an addition to a mix. Nothing is a single definitive answer. Same way as many other things, like Anki flashcards or Duolingo or some YouTube channel, or some tutorial website or indeed a coursebook or an audio course or whatnot. Use multiple sources and use the strengths of each.
- ethin 2mo agoWhat you describe is indeed the ideal method of learning. However, I think we both know that if LLMs are pushed as a learning device, people will substitute everything else for them (or companies will very strongly encourage that substitution).
