Thanks for sharing, Dave! Just got the book. Your post reminded me of the 4 stages of competence, and I think it fits the current scenario where LLM's are becoming both a boost to perceived productivity and a barrier to acquired knowledge.

I'll share my comments once I read it! :)

I think you can also argue that LLMs are in a sense the ultimate in tacit knowledge, and that brings with it the same issues are you get dealing with any expert: you don't know when they are wrong because you have no personal context.

The way many schools and universities teach: an "expert" talking and everyone else listening. Participation begets engagement begets learning....

Again, it's good stuff. Might caution that intuitive incrementing is still descriptive and should be offset by normative assumption vetting.
