Most smart people that have used llms have reported that there is a constant temptation to just stop thinking and let the llm do it. It is very easy to give in. Studies support this.
Yes this is more concerning. I wonder how it will play out. It’s a bit like using a calculator. It’s going to atrophy certain abilities like programming and research for a lot of people, but I suppose people will find other things to think about. Not many people are concerned about the fact that most people are lousy at working things out with a paper and pencil. The people who need to be able to do it still can. The people who are best at it will probably still be called on to do it to check the AI’s, do the things they can’t, and guide strategy.
