  • It depends on the usage.

    If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they’ll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.

    If they’re copy/pasting like most of the world, then there’s evidence to suggest that they’ll actually get worse at the thing they’re offloading to the LLM.


  • If it’s a fine dining establishment, I wouldn’t dream of asking for modifications (outside of allergens or religious restrictions). The chef has carefully constructed a specific experience, and I’m going to that restaurant because that chef is good at their job.

    If I’m getting a burger or a salad at a mid-level casual restaurant, I’m definitely asking to leave out the ingredients that I don’t like.

    If Joann is feeding me for free, again, I’m not making any special requests unless I have allergies or religious restrictions. If I know I don’t like Joann’s cooking, then I am “unfortunately otherwise engaged” when she invites me for lunch … or I simply skip her contribution at the family potluck.
