My maths teacher always said: "It's not about calculating the space under a curve in real life, it's about learning how to solve problems with the tools you have and know."
Which is pretty much it. Before we were allowed to use a calculator, we had to master math in the head. They taught us different approaches on how to calculate even more complex calculations quickly, by breaking up the numbers. I use that until now, and rarely use a calculator.
Same goes for LLM/AI. I know how to use it to make my work quicker - not to replace the work itself. I could do it by myself, and the moment I couldn't, I'd be worried. But underfunded as most schools are, it's kind of hard to teach everything that was on the schedule before, plus all the new tech part, and make children understand that they have to comprehend before they can use tech.
Or is that a waste of time and energy? Businesses will adapt to the new "workforce", they'll have to. And as long as the problem gets solved, who cares how it was solved? If it really gets solved, considering the amount of wrong answers that LLM/AI give.
yeah, I agree with that. Knowing how to solve something is often paramount to really understanding it. Even now I have issues where I need someone to help me and I often ask them to explain why or how they did it versus just fixing it.
Me, too, and I learned a great deal. I do my own electrics now, plumbing and other fixes - up to a certain point. There are things I don't understand yet. My dream is to team up with a good friend of mine who buys renovates very old dirt & wood houses, and spend a few months working on that, to learn it all. Or at least as much as I can.
