This one of the things that frightens me about LLMs. Like MBA programs, they seem to make people dumber over time, while simultaneously making them feel smarter and more confident in their abilities.

There’s the smarter/dumber aspect yes. But there’s also the empathy aspect. You start looking at other people and their work and you immediately think “what a fucking waste. AI could’ve done that. What the hell is wrong with that person?”

Dumber? Different eras call for different skills. Is the US populace dumb because it doesn't know how to dip candles or render soap?

  In your opinion, what skills are called for in this current era of LLMs?

    Like any new tool, figuring out where, when, and how to use it appropriately.
