Well I said sort of, but I'd argue most significant works in significant fields do not give completely incorrect explanations, and if they do there's usually versions of those works and they are updated. Your llm conversation is not versioned, there is no consensus built around its correctness.

In my experience learning with llms is the equivalent of doing (bad) tutorials, and you end up in tutorial hell where you feel like you're learning but you find it hard to implement said thing without that guide. It creates surface understanding thats not really worth the effort. Its better to dive deep on your own.

We're all looking for that shortcut, myself included, but as the saying goes, "there's no free lunch".
