> We should be using LLMs to help us learn, not merely to get the answer.
If am LLM doesn't know how it learned, can it help us learn, other than by regurgitating textbooks that it digested?
I believe the value in a well-written book, completed to the scattershot info bytes on the internet (and I have lots of these) is in the three C's.
Contunuity: each chapter builds on another.
Consistency: pieces fit and don't contradict or wander.
Context: all pieces refer to the same subject and each other.
How would an LLM achieve these? Would worked-out examples be better than answers? At least, the worked-out examples can be verified, similar to open source software.
And can an LLM actually work out examples? Explain your steps!
