I think the main issue is people using LLMs to do things that they don't know how to do themselves. There's actually a similar problem with calculators, it's just a much smaller one: if you never learn how to add or multiply numbers by hand and use calculators for everything all the time, you may sometimes make absurd mistakes like tapping 44 * 3 instead of 44 * 37 and not bat an eye when your calculator tells you the result is a whole order of magnitude less than what you should have expected. Because you don't really understand how it works. You haven't developed the intuition. There's nothing wrong with using LLMs to save time doing trivial stuff you know how to do yourself and can check very easily. The problem is that (very lazy) people are using them to do stuff they are themselves not competent at. They can't check, they won't learn, and the LLM is essentially their skill ceiling. This is very bad: what plus-value are you supposed to bring over something you don't understand? AGI won't have to improve from the current baseline to surpass humans if we're just going to drag ourselves down to its level.
