That is one of the great strengths of LLMs for school education as well. Students often refrain from asking questions in class out of embarrassment at showing their ignorance or hesitation at interrupting the flow of the class. When used well, LLMs offer a good way for motivated learners to fill in the gaps in their understanding.

The pervasive problem of low student motivation won't be solved by LLMs, though. Human teachers will, I think, still be needed.

I find myself doing this all the time, as an experienced dev.

All the little nooks of missing knowledge are now very easy to fill in.

Yes! In the time it would take to organize a question in a form that won’t be downvoted/closed on StackOverflow you can ask a whole series of LLM questions and learn quite a bit.
