Please do not rely on these tools, they should not be a dependency of your thinking. My bookshelf have a 100% uptime!

Next you'll tell me I shouldn't use a calculator, or a computer at all. The conceptual level at which I work benefits massively from the recent developments in LLMs, and to stop training myself for the new meta means to drastically fall behind and possibly miss my goals. There is absolutely no reason not to evolve alongside this new technology.

These tools should be an extension of you, not a reliance.

See, I’d still be able to do my math without a calculator (to some extent)

Your comment above sounds like you get paralyzed when ClosedAi (OpenAi)s service have outage.

Why would you want to depend on a private corporation to this extent?

It blows my mind!

the fact you even think they are comparable to a calculator is scary. they're not in any way comparable.

Can you please elaborate?

ChatGPT is the black box that is pushing the buttons of the calculator for you. You don’t learn maths or programming with this service.

If the calculator is broken, I can still work slowly but I understand what I do. Without experience, you can’t understand what the black box is giving you.

I have no idea what to do right now, I use ChatGPT all day while studying new concepts. It condenses time needed to understand complex new information by several magnitudes, and at this juncture studying without it seems pointless, it's rapidly become an extra layer in my brain.

Relying on chatgpt is a great way to learn everything wrong and not even know why everything you learned was wrong

At least calculators don't give you plain wrong information

How do you know the information you're getting is factual?

I will ask you the same question about the information which you read on the internet. Whatever your answer is, apply that to ChatGPT. It is no different.

The simple answer is don't rely on information you find on the internet, SEO killed that years ago. And chatgpt was trained on that awful mess. Go read an actual book

you read sources and original works, did you actually think this was a gotcha? you are depriving yourself of proper learning and knowledge lol

No, you're just making hasty judgements. I read scientific papers, articles and references in one pane while keeping GPT open in another pane to help me make the most use out of the knowledge in the quickest timeframe. I frequently browse additional resources in order to corroborate information. Please do not project onto me. Ask questions about my process before assuming I'm "depriving myself", which you are likely…

have you ever considered devoting your full attention to what you're reading? And that doing that enough will improve your scientific reading comprehension to the point you don't need to rely on chatgpt mangling the information into nonsense?

You're just projecting your own ignorance on the process.

I constantly learn new maths or programming while working alongside LLMs. They increase and augment my experience, they don't subtract from it.

You need a developed strategy when it comes to work and research, and if you already have a good one, adding GPT as a resource only helps you.
