Depends, I think. If we are talking about writing an essay (and I believe we are), then the LLM is somewhere between useless and counter-productive.
Of course, if the LLM is used to understand an RFC (I would debate how useful it is for that, but that's another discussion), then it's different. The goal was to understand the RFC, it doesn't really matter how you did it. But the goal of writing an essay is not to end up with a written essay at all. Nobody cares about it, you can burn it right after it's graded.
