Learning at the speed of AI

People make fun of LLM platforms because of hallucinations, and that’s a real problem, but what about coding tutorials made by humans?

Unpopular Opinion

Humans have confidently spread bad practices way before the rise of ChatGPT, so I don’t think this is the best anti-AI argument.

On top of that, AI tools can generate on the fly and customize endlessly-comprehensive tutorials.

This is a game-changer because the information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It’s fully dynamic and interactive.

It’s impossible to compete with that.

There’s no longer any need to explain documentation, software, etc.

Tools can repeat and rephrase as often as needed.

Just don’t forget to specify the desired versions to filter deprecated information.

Perhaps the focus for content creators is now more on sharing their experience and expertise.

It’s an incredible opportunity to discuss more personal and original contents.

Do You Trust AI Outputs?

These tools can be valuable for experienced users (and even intermediate ones) because it’s easier to adjust your inputs when you know what the output should look.

For beginners, it’s still a struggle.

Even though AI platforms are constantly improving their results, the tools are not meant to correct flawed approaches unless you specifically ask for it.

Even if you do that, you’ll have to trust AI outputs blindly.

Free Plan or Full Package?

Depending on the plan you choose, results can vary significantly.

There’s no magic solution.

That’s why you should combine multiple tools to ensure up-to-date and relevant outputs.

Helping Those Who Can’t Help Themselves

Platforms can help you learn new technologies and programming languages with ease.

However, it remains difficult without prior “real-world” experience for anyone hoping to make sense of all the concepts they’ve absorbed.

Without it, you may end up with gaps in your understanding or even learn things the wrong way.

Note that it’s pretty much the same with bad human teachers.

Faster or Better?

IMHO (in my humble opinion), the extreme speed of AI isn’t all that helpful when it comes to learning.

We can generate as many courses and apps as we want, but we still need to be able to absorb them properly.

We can’t yet inject them directly into our minds Matrix-style.

Some processes simply cannot be rushed.
