Asking an LLM to do something for you doesn't involve any learning at all.

I’m not talking about the LLM case, just the mantra of “don’t roll your own crypto” constantly. Comes off as unnecessarily gatekeepy.
I mean, by that, people don't generally mean, literally, "never write your own crypto". They just mean "on no account _use_ self-written crypto for anything".
