But that's very different with LLMs and that stuff. You don't need to know how to write an essay or write a song. That's kind of the point.
LLMs don't know how to write an essay or a song.
To be able to direct an LLM you would need to know how to do those things yourself.
LLM don't "know" anything. It's a program. But those programs get fed so many (mostly stolen) essays and songs that it outputs a convincing essay or song.
So the end result is this. you don't need to know how to write an essay but you get an essay written for you. It's very different from using calculator and knowing math or using ProTools and knowing how to make a song.
