I was in quarantine in middle school. During online school I paid very little attention to anything the teachers tried to teach, usually I played minecraft during class. When I had a big math test I felt fine, because I knew I would find a way to cheat. On the test, every problem was a word problem. I had no clue what the questions wanted of me, so I had no idea how to cheat. After receiving my D-, I realized my mistake and actually started paying attention, and learning. Although this stunted my mathematical development, I was able to get back on track to having a good understanding.

Had AI been as prevalent as it is now, I don’t think I would have ever had the revelation. That is why I appreciated the point the author made about the difference between a calculator and LLMs. You have to have some semblance of understanding to put something into a calculator. You need nothing and you gain nothing by copying and pasting into ChatGPT.
