Yes, that's literally how you learn things. I can't understand how anyone on this forum thinks otherwise. Hackers are supposed to be people who thrive in unknown contexts, who thirst for knowledge of how things work. What you are suggesting is brain atrophy. It's the death of knowledge for profit and productivity. Fuck all of that.

My cognitive energies are reserved for other things. This is the point of AI: do boring tasks so humans can spend their energy on loftier/more important things.

If you can't be bothered to do the boring stuff ever, you won't ever develop the skills that you need to make anything loftier

They might be boring but they are nonetheless foundational

But the point is that the boring things I refer to are not foundational or even related to my field. I have zero formal education in computers. LLMs are my personal IT experts, for pennies on the dollar. I'm not interested in formally learning programming, yet vibe-code apps I want.

In that case I'm really not sure why professional software developers should be interested in your opinion on the technology at all

		I don't understand how your comment is related to anything I've said. "AI is great for customer service" is a statement that can be made by anyone who has experienced both LLMs and human reps.
