It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1836:
Don't write the book you think 'people will buy'. No one knows for sure what people will buy, incuding the people who sell books. Instead, write the book you need to write. The book that makes a difference.

What made Troilus and Cressida so relevant to audiences who had lived through two world wars?
Why did it speak to the 'angry young men' of the post-war era and to the countercultural movements of the 1960s?
