#chatgpt can give you a shortcut but it wont build you the muscles

I'm sorry, genuine question, what did you mean by "ChatGPT can give you a short cut but you won't build you the the muscles." ? The first part (chatgpt can give you a short cut) i get, but the second (but you wont build you the the muscles) is confusing me. you wont build you the muscles? sorry

The answer is a simple grammar mistake! I caught it about 10 minutes after I made the post, but by then it had already garnered... a lot of reblogs. It's meant to read: "ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the muscles."

It basically means that yes, it's a shortcut. And I don't even mean to say that a short-cut isn't useful! They absolutely can be, under the right circumstances.

But you can't count on the short-cut always being there. One day, you're gonna have to run a full marathon. (Or, to remove the metaphor: Write an essay, or a scientific paper, or a whole script of code, or read and evaluate a bunch of news articles on an important new policy or event, or parse a contract, or convince your manager to sign off on your proposal, or select a treatment plan for your new health condition, and so on). And it will be way easier to do that, without losing your breath, without getting stressed, if you've put in the time and effort to train for that ahead of time.
