You cannot sleep when there are enemies nearby

Sure, but that isn’t the point I’m making.

Consider that my analogy was referring specifically to arithmetic, while we have calculators in our pockets.

Consider a different analogy if you want, spell checkers.

If they came out now, I’m sure you’d have people arguing that people will never learn how to spell.

I was pretty good at maths in school, and throughout my adult life there have been times when doing mental math has been helpful.

I must’ve saved quite a few minutes, perhaps even an hour total.

But it has never been that important, that using the calculator I always have in my pocket would’ve somehow changed anything in the moment.

In all, it actually doesn’t feel like that helpful of a skill, though your milage will vary depending on your job.

In saying that, LLM’s aren’t going anywhere, and the panic around peoples stupification is probably a mask for ignorance or indifference which would exist regardless.
