Having an initial higher level understanding across the domain is extremely useful to contextualize the deeper stuff. I think boring details is a very leaky characterization, but I'll continue with it.

In my experience it's infinitely easier and faster to learn deep, "boring" things when you understand how they relate to your shallow and wide understanding of all of the related components.

The LLM is merely a tool. And you can use it for domain discovery that enables efficient deep learning at an unprecedented rate or you can develop a cursory understanding of a topic and think yourself an expert.
