They hallucinate too much to be used as a learning replacement. The hallucinations are completely fine when you’re using it as a learning tool because when used correctly, you verify everything externally. I’ve used it to breach some difficult stuff I was really struggling with, like the Rust programming language. Used it to help me get started on it the right way, then used it to identify gaps in my knowledge. Been writing Rust at a pretty high level for 3 years since with no assistance from AI.
LLMs are genuinely a fantastic learning tool. You just have to use it as a learning tool, not a learning replacement…
Nah, they hallucinate waaaayyy too much
