This is different as you are wholesale giving over your thinking to an AI.

  No they're not. Using GPS and blinding following what it says is "wholesale giving over your navigation to GPS". Writing things down is "wholesale giving over your memory to paper". AI chatbots do not have agency, they are not actively trying to take over your thinking. People can prompt them to do their thinking for them, or they can prompt to get examples and help with understanding.

    Are you writing a book with GPS? Are you creating a program with GPS? Are you creating music with GPS? You need to think to do this, you don't need to with AI.

      Are you writing a book without an editor? Are you writing a book without spellcheck? It’s nice to comment, it’s be great to engage with the actual point I made: if the AI write the whole book for you it’s because you asked it to. You can just as well ask it to clean up the prose, or look for inconsistencies, or find flaws in the arguments.

  Isn't that a strawman? There's a significant difference between "using AI" and "wholesale giving over your thinking to an AI". You won't find anyone arguing against the second.
