Really put ‘synthesis’ in quotes because LLMs don’t synthesize. They are fancy autocomplete that generates text with the appearance of synthesis to the extent the training corpus contains results of prior human synthesis.

File under: OF COURSE! Past labor saving devices (eg calculator) automated tasks you had first to truly understand to use effectively, and continued use of add/multiply button does not diminish my understanding. To the extent that GenAI is used for synthesis, it erodes cognitive load-bearing walls
