I’m constantly learning from LLMs. Claude Opus is like a Wikipedia I can talk to while I am riding my bike. I can learn all about optics, point spread function and FWHM, and more. My mechanical engineer coworkers are using the tools to learn how our software system works.

Sure you don’t need to learn coding syntax anymore. I mean some knowledge is helpful but the machine can explain it. I never learned assembly language - compilers were doing a great job with that by the time I started. Not to say it isn’t useful, but I learned a lot about higher level concepts instead.

That's not the point. The point is that that isn't how young people and college students are using it now: they are using it to think for them, and that's what's going to lead to the dip in human cognitive ability that we can already see signs of. You're an outlier in using it responsibly.
