You aren't wrong, in part at least, but I guarantee you that the person who doesn't have to set this thing up because they can quickly process information and produce compelling content on their own, without the aid of an LLM, will have a cognitive and competitive advantage in life. This may not be obvious when you are young and still in school.

This is an argument that I do not agree with, but I 100% can respect.

I would assert that the LLMs are irrelevant here, the kid has an aptitude for engineering with or without LLMs. He clearly is capable of processing information and producing compelling content on his own.

Likewise, his peers may have their own faculties that will grant them an advantage in life. But I don't think failing to leverage existing technologies will do them any good. Using textbooks, the internet, and LLMs are various technologies that can be used effectively or detrimentally.

Other students may succeed, not due to their unwillingness to adopt LLMs, but in spite of it.

It seems you're hyper focused on an overly literal interpretation of a meme. Of course blindly outputting chatgpt's response is an ineffective strategy and doing the student a disservice. So is copying a textbook or plagiarizing from the Internet.

But rigging this bad boy up? That's innovative, and more importantly, makes a funny image.
