I think it is because people have preferences for top-down vs bottom-up learning strategies and bottom-up is what the education system is built around.

I suspect top-down learners are who benefit massively from LLMs while bottom-up learners think they are bullshit engines.

As a top-down learner myself, Claude is really the best technology of my lifetime. I can completely understand though how a bottom-up learner could see Claude as an afront to their fundamental epistemology.

Because it is.
