This sounds fine? Copy pasting LLM output without understanding is a short term dopamine hit that only hurts you long term if you don't understand it. If you struggle first, or strategically ping-pong with the LLM to arrive at the answer, and can ultimately understand the underlying reasoning.. why not use it?
Of course the problem is the much lower barrier for that to turn into cutting corners or full on cheating, but always remember it ultimately hurts you the most long term.
> can ultimately understand the underlying reasoning
This is at the root of the Dunnin-Kruger effect. When you read an explanation you feel like you understand it. But it's an illusion, because you never developed the underlying cognition, you just saw the end result.
Learning is not about arriving at the result, or knowing the answers. These are by products of the process of learning. If you just short cut to the end by products, you get the appearance of learning. And you might be able to play the system and come out with a diploma. But you didn't actually develop cognitive skills at all.
