Honestly. It feels like some people have become so dependent on LLMs that they'll ask them to solve the even most basic of questions.

Our bodies evolved on a "use it or lose it" basis, and like every other muscle in our bodies, the brain is not immune to this...

If you let your brain sit idle while passing on such simple tasks to AI, the neuronal pathways for these tasks will weaken to the point you'll have to relearn them from scratch.

These AI companies want this to happen. They want more and more people to become dependent, so that once they decide to rug pull you with the true cost, you'll have no choice but to pay up because you can't cope without it. This is true not just for humans but even entire industries as a whole, who have very keenly taken to replacing humans with it.
