Counterargument: I can learn things at record speed (for me) because I can learn things in the order that makes sense to me. I find it much more motivating to start with: “why is AI bad at playing video games?”, than to start with “what is the chain rule?”

I will certainly need to learn about the chain rule eventually, but I find that I get lost in the details (and unmotivated to continue) without an end goal that is interesting to me.

AI loves to make vibe charts (sometimes with lots of extra steps), but that’s part of the process. It is nontrivial to wrangle LLMs through larger projects, and people need to learn that too
