You can become a DB expert by reading books, forums and practicing hard.
These days you can replace those books and forums with a top tier LLM, but you still need to put in the practice yourself. Even with AI assistance that's still a lot of work.

You could not replace good books with Intenert and you can't replace good books with a any LLM.
You can replace books with your own time and research.
Again making statements that are just not true. Typical HN behavior.
I don't appreciate how you accuse me of "making statements that are just not true" without providing a solid argument (as opposed to your own opinion) as to why what I'm saying isn't true.
You stated that an LLM can replace a book.
As far as I know in the field of logic the one making a statement, in this case you, is the one who has to prove it.
But in this case you make a statemen and then ask ME to prove it wrong? Makes zero fucking sense.
As much as you don't apreciate it, that is how debate and logic works.
The idea that an LLM can replace the role of a book doesn't seem like it should even be controversial to me.
You buy a non-fiction book to learn something, or to act as a reference.
An LLM provides an alternative mechanism for learning that thing, or looking up those reference points.
What am I missing here?
Do you think a search engine could replace a book?
So you are not only stating than a LLM can replace a book. Directly you are saying that it is an axiom.
It is so self evident true that you don't even need to reason about it.
That LLMs can replace a book is a fundamental truth of the universe like the euclid postulates or like 1=1.
Well then there is no way to continue the conversation, because by definition axioms can't be false.
I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, but you'll have to make a concrete argument rather than just critiquing the way I'm discussing this.
