I would argue that if you've just watched videos about building computers and haven't sat down and done one yourself, then yeah I don't see any evidence that you've learned how to build a computer.

And, so the anti-LLM argument goes, if you've not built the computer you can't learn anything about what computers could be used for.

That's not the anti-LLM argument, that's a brand new argument you made up.
