So by your own words, in order to use the LLM usefully, I need to manually manage it? Do you know what I don’t have to manually manage? A person.

I can feed a person a broad, complex or even under formed idea and they can actively troubleshoot until the problem is resolved, further monitoring and tweaking their solution so the problem remains resolved. LLMs can’t even come close to doing that.

You’re proving my point for me; it’s a tool, not a developer. Zero jobs are at risk.

Also not for nothing, but no, sending the textbook in chunks doesn’t work as the LLM can’t then synthesize complex ideas that span the entire chapter. You have to compose a set of notes first, then feed it the notes, and even then the resulting flashcards are meaningfully worse than what I could come up with myself.
