You learn how to use tools to solve problems and what kind of problems those tools can solve.

Using a database or 3D Printer isn't bad because you don't learn anything about the internals.

It's still better than using AI, where even the authors of the black box don't really know what they're doing.
to be fair that's the general experience with such solvers

step 1: insert the problem

step 2: ???

step 3: profit
