You have to build a computer to learn about computers!

I would argue that if you've just watched videos about building computers and haven't sat down and done one yourself, then yeah I don't see any evidence that you've learned how to build a computer.
And, so the anti-LLM argument goes, if you've not built the computer you can't learn anything about what computers could be used for.
That's not the anti-LLM argument, that's a brand new argument you made up.
Did you not read the comment thread you replied to? That's the exact argument that I_love_retros made above.

That is in fact the anti LLM argument you've ostensibly been discussing. If you want to talk to the person who made it up I'm not your guy.
