This was a great read especially related to product management. First off, I am shocked that we now have a product management course (this also makes me feel old).
There is a reason why I chose to post it. I've always wondered how educators will navigate the balance of LLMs when it comes to teaching. I think this is a great articulation of why.
Now, when I think back to me in college and when the professors refrained me from typing and printing an assignment because it would help with the learning, I also remember thinking that they seemed old.
The truth is that since I buy this argument that the struggle is the learning, I also think I need to own up to my own defiance of that rule in college. Maybe there was value in struggling with learning to write because I am sure there's a study out there that will highlight that writing helps process better and build better neural pathways.
I write today because I sometimes use it to process. However, I also type far more than I write including this article and it's helped me think and form neural pathways too - by the same argument. My lived experience is different from those professors.
I am not sure how this all comes to play.
A part of me thinks that we should teach the kids about these technologies as early as possible to pivot the moment from cheating on existing assignments and learning because they were fundamentally designed for a different world.
The other part of me is also totally okay with someone saying - education requires writing without the aid of an LLM and figuring out robust ways to enforce it.
I just think that the second path is really hard.
