I used to be able to do long division in my head. Square roots. That kind of thing.

Then they allowed us to use calculators in class, and I was too young to realise the danger. Now that part of my brain is gone. Dead. I can't do those calculations without using the machine as a crutch. It mutilated me, maimed me, killed a part of me, and made me dependent on it.

I won't let LLMs do the same to the rest of my brain, and will treat anyone who does with the pity, disgust, and existential nausea and horror they deserve.
