Stoopid Questions - about learning, teaching and AI
summary
Keynote claims that LLMs lack agency and cannot truly learn, cites the CACM piece, and argues AI helps and hinders learning; gives concrete tips for reading technical books, running exercises and teaching by example, shows small projects and classroom techniques and whether they work; mentions practical tools like Copilot and LLMs and dangers of copying from Stack Overflow and code copying and draws on Learn C++ by Example — watch if you want claims, refs and demos, skip if you want only topic blurbs.
