I’m going to assume you’re saying this in good faith. The problem with handing thinking over to a computer is not just about computers being worse thinkers, it is also about the fact that these computer systems are being conditioned to reflect the views of the organizations that created them. This creates a concentration of power issue as it’s another avenue to influence how people think, and it’s a pretty strong one at that if people are literally handing over their thinking. This problem is likely to get worse over time as selling this influence in the same way much of the internet sells ad space will likely be quite profitable, and we’re probably not seeing it as much now because AI companies are trying to get their LLMs integrated into society so people become dependent on them.
