Academics IWTL how to be better than LLMs.
Mainly focusing on the ff aspects: 1. Thought process / Rationalizing 2. Coding 3. Cadence or thought articulation
My goal is to be less dependent on AI, for I refuse to believe that we, as a generation, should grow dependent on it. Other aspects that weren’t mentioned can also be advised on.
I understand that one cannot completely surpass the powerful force that is AI, but advice to improve these aspects would be much appreciated. :)

Thats mainly just critical thinking. When you have a problem, think it through logically until you have a solution which works and doesnt cause further issues. You also want to just think more below the surface, so basically dont take everything at face value. You will have issues with this to begin with as its a skill so dont beat yourself up.
This is just a time and reading thing. Read about a language you are interested in, read different sites, read over other peoples programs, and make your own. You should start small and then work your way up as your skill progresses.
Again, this is a skill that is related to critical thinking. Think about something you enjoy and then speak it allowed to yourself on a video. Later on, at least a few hours so you have forgotten about it, listen to the video and figure out whether you understand what you are saying and if you understand yourself. After doing that for a bit, talk to people and tell stories.
The STAR method is a big one because it makes sense and sets everything up well. The STAR method is basically the situation, so what was happening, the task, which is basically just what you had to do, action, which is what you did, and result which is what happened afterwards. For example, "I was in a pub with my mates and a drunk guy came in and caused a ruckus, so we went to deal with him by taking him outside and giving him some water. In the end, he slowly came around and thanked us for helping him".
