LLMs aren't any of these things: infinite, knowledgable, patient, or ready. They are a compressed representation of all of the misstatements and misunderstandings in the history of Reddit. If you think you've been using LLMs to "learn new things" it could be because you aren't already familiar with the domain and you can't see where it's misleading you.

I mean, you've collapsed a complex, mixed system into a single negative narrative.

Examples of how I learn with LLMs:

- Paste sections from reading and ask questions / clarify my understanding / ask it to quiz me

- Produce Anki cards by pasting in chapter text and the culling out the goods ones

- Request resources / links for further learning

Basically, LLMs serve as a thinking partner. Yes, it's a fallible tool, not an oracle. But dismissing the idea that you can learn (and learn faster / more efficiently) with LLMs is reductionist
