I’m really on the fence here. On one hand yes it will make everyone dumber because most won’t stay curious but they haven’t probably been the most curious anyway and it will make it so they don’t understand the how or why. But against that argument, people said that about all technology. Writing was dumb because you’re writing about it not doing it. People said algebra was cheating because you’re replacing these huge long form math with equations that made them more approachable. Unfortunately LLMs are here to stay and it’s important we call them that. They’re glorified translators and thesauruses. They can synthesize information well and can create diagrams with said information pretty well. They’re trash now but so were the first cars and planes. It’s likely most people won’t ever learn how computers work, Linux will become easier to understand and LLMs are already in that space to digest that workload to get there. So I dunno I hear you but overall I don’t think it’s actually that evil. I think this is what humans do. Work smarter, not harder
