Talking about “actually” learning something feels very “no true Scotsman”. You could replace GPT in your comment with StackOverflow, Google, or a textbook and they’d read like the same criticism, right? Referencing something until you remember it is normal learning?

Yeah, that's a fair comment. I took "learned" to mean more than maybe the OP meant it to be. I stand by my broader point though - most people will use GPT without using it to expand their knowledge.

Only if it works flawlessly. If it has subtle bugs you spend about as much time solving the task with GPT as if you didn't use GPT. And it requires deep insight into what might go wrong.

Yeah I didn’t understand the criticism especially when they asked if they learned it enough to Google it next time?
