Reminds me of the "Learn X the Hard Way" series, distributed as PDF I think, on the idea that if there's code samples you should transcribe them by hand because the act of transcribing matters.

Maybe that's an argument for simpler chat modalities over shared codepads, as forcing the human to assemble bits of code provided by the LLM helps keep the human in the driver's seat.
