Since the release of the first GPT models people have been critical of AI's ability to do anything practical and in many cases making the case that it's just another fad. I don't think it is, and neither does this author, and our reasoning is similar: "But the reason I think that the recent advances we've made aren't just hype is that, over the past year, I have spent at least a few hours every week interacting with various large language models, and have been consistently impressed by their ability to solve increasingly difficult tasks." Now I've spent a lot less time with the AI. But O am incredibly impressed not only with its ability to perform specific tasks but also in how it supports my own learning about those tasks. I'll write about that later (as a human, not with AI - I reserve AI for coding tasks); in the meantime, you have this article.
