This is true in many areas. We don't read to learn a series of facts in a book. We read, because reading changes our brains, clarifies and improves our thinking and our method of thinking. If you read a summary, you get the facts, but you get none of the growth. 2/

Many people are confused in this way about education. "If an LLM can write an essay, why are you still assigning essays, the whole ed system is broken lol" No— you don't write an essay to produce an essay. You write an essay to level up the brain that produced the essay. /end
