The difference is that everyone knows that it’s faster and to take the car but you get to exercise your muscles. But imagine it was 1920 when cars were still up for debate and the post was “why I ride my horse to work”. It’s still a common argument whether you’ll get better results coding manually or using AI.

Except the post has nothing to do with “better results” of the generated output, it concerns itself with the effect it has on the user’s learning. That’s the theme which is relevant to the discussion.

And we already know LLMs impact your learning. How could it not? If you don’t use your brain for a task, it gets worse at that task. We’ve know that, with studies, since before LLMs.

It boggles my mind how AI discussion is so abrasive that people get their jimmies rustled over just about anything in here.
