I've used an LLM for tutoring, but it doesn't replace the experience of biking across campus, ordering a coffee, unpacking my TI-89/iPad, cracking jokes with the professor and other students, paying attention, taking notes, and having to remember the material until exam day. This process is culture, and it's honing my mental blade. Then, as a solo-entrepreneur, I go home and use Cline+Sonnet to hack on a few side projects. These two processes compliment each other, greatly. Like I've mentioned in other replies, this is for "#2 fun" and to see if the "old guy (me) has still got it."
