> become reliant on it

This is terrible advice. To be reliant on something is to be helpless when that thing stops working or is taken away. That's never a smart thing to do willingly, never mind enthusiastically.

By all means, learn how to leverage it productively, but be mindful not to become reliant on it.

I emphatically disagree, but I appreciate that you may feel there is a requirement for a certain amount of time to pass before becoming reliant on any new technology.
So make sure it keeps working and isn't taken away. LLMs aren't going away. I'm reliant on my car to get to work. I don't have back up car just in case.
But you have insurance right? Does that include a temporary one while it's being fixed? If so, you do have a back up car.
