This was flimsy all the way through, but loses all credibility when this part rolls around:
> It risks poisoning the well of collective thought, and of our ability to think at all. ... To place all of our trust in the dreams of badly programmed machines would be to abandon such critical thinking altogether.
The author seemingly couldn't resist leaning all the way into hyperbole and made the ridiculous claim that human beings will no longer be able to think once AI really takes off. The unnecessary name calling in saying that LLMs are "badly programmed" is the cherry on top.
