This is why I don’t understand the calculator analogy. Letting beginners use LLMs is like if we gave kids calculators in 1st grade and told Timmy he never needs to learn 2 + 2. That’s not how education works today.

I think this is exactly why calculators are a great analogy, and a hint toward how we should probably treat LLMs.

Unfortunately there are many posters here who believe we should, in fact, let children use calculators and not bother with learning arithmetic. It's foolishness, but that argument does get made. So I wouldn't be surprised if people also think we should let students use LLMs.
