> better yet word prompts accurately enough that the answers don't give bullshit

The idea that you can remove the bullshit by simply rephrasing also assumes that the person knows enough to know what is bullshit. This has not been true from what I've seen of people using AI. Besides, if you already know what is bullshit, you wouldn't be using it to learn the subject.

Talking to real experts will win out every single time, both in time cost, and in socialisation. This is one of the many reasons why networking is a skill that is important in business.

Take coding as an example, if you're a programmer you can spot the bullshit (i.e. made up libraries), and rephrasing can result in entire code being written, which can be an immense time saver.

Other disciplines can do the same in analogous ways.
