A drive-thru is not a tool for cooking, it is automation for avoiding cooking. LLMs are not tools with which you write code - they are automation with which you avoid writing code
Is a microwave automation? What about ovens with timers? Do I need to know how to use a frying pan to know cooking?
Are you actually writing code if you use compilers instead of assembly? Do you need to know the output of your compiler to know coding? LLMs cannot replace understanding code the same way compilers cannot replace understanding assembly, but both of them are layers of abstraction that both make dubious guesses about what you actually want in their output.
You should still learn how to write code AND assembly btw, but I disagree with this guy’s definition of tool
I’m not sure I agree with this
