I've come to accept that some people, when faced with impressive technology, simply want to use it. They genuinely have no interest in understanding how it works. Lately, its even become fashionable to shame people for trying to understand ("you still read code? gross, you know AI can do that for you"..)

I will never understand this mentality, to let yourself be so dependent on something you don't understand at all is to live like a child. But it is very common. I doubt too many 17 year olds will bother even trying to understand what an LLM is, let alone build one from scratch.
