Koshy John on what the tool is good for and what it is not. The argument is small and worth keeping: use the model to extend the questions you can ask, not to skip the part where you think the answer through. His analogies are spot on.

Going back to the analogies: This is like copying answers through university and then showing up to a job that requires independent thought. It is like using a calculator for every arithmetic task and never developing number sense. It is like relying on self-driving features before learning how to actually drive.
