Of all the things I have seen “die” in programming since I started in 1998, the one I lament the most is the death of education and training. The grifters cashed in via scummy bootcamps and ripoff courses. Now search has been ruined for quarterly profits and folks are blindly trusting ChatGepetto to give them correct answers. It’s a fucking mess and the people who need to care won’t because they are contemptuous of us all.
@grmpyprogrammer I hear and feel your pain, and I mostly agree. However, from an educational standpoint, LLMs (using grounding content) provide a way for a learner to acquire knowledge in the way they want to, rather than the way the content author wanted to explain it. The Q&A style of learning you can do with an LLM can be very effective.
