What would be the appropriate way to learn then?

If a human gave me the same "amateur hour" instructions, would that be bad?

If I follow a "make exercise wheel display RPM" tutorial on a website, will I learn?

If it's in a book (distilled information is bad, right?), will I learn then?

OP was writing how great the LLM is, and that he couldn't do this stuff as easily before LLMs. And that simply isn't true.

Instead of breaking down the task himself into achievable steps, the LLM did that "thinking" for him. This will inevitably lead to atrophy of the brain. If you don't exercise your brain, and let the tin-can tell you what to do, you're going to get pretty dull. It's well known that keeping your brain active, solving problems, will keep your mental abilities strong. Using LLMs is the opposite of that.
