There is already science that shows that people using llms makes them measurably worse, in an incredibly short amount of time, at tasks than they were before using llms.
So, “will x make us all morons? No” actually has some peer reviewed work that seems to imply "possibly NOT ‘no’ "

Getting worse at tasks doesn’t make you a moron. Are you a moron because you aren’t as good at mental arithmetic as you were when you practiced it for school? No.

Google Maps also makes us bad at finding our way manually. Are we therefore a moron?

Said “science” is a handful of cherrypicked studies that cannot reliably say such things. The US has been in a downward spiral of ignorance for a little while now. And if it is caused by anything, it’s a combination of poor schooling, poor parenting, and social media.
