In fact when in "learning" mode you probably shouldn't use an LLM. Same reason why you don't immediately jump to a calculator when learning multiplication. Yes LLMs are more powerful than a calc, but at least you could have arrived at the same/similar result manually if you wanted to spend the time

When LLM skills become the bottleneck, you kind of need to use an LLM to learn how to use LLM workflows effectively

Getting the most out of LLM tooling is a real skill that needs practice just like any other
