Here's the thing. When someone tells you something that is important. Don't just believe them. Verify it with multiple sources. This was good advice before llms, and it's good advice after them. The people who complain that llms will make everyone dumb are actually just telling the world about themselves. They are telling the world that they are the kind of person who just goes around looking for sources that they can mindlessly believe without verifying. Quit being like that. Change the way you are on a personal level, and you will quit worrying about llms making everyone stupid. There are very many people who don't share your concern because they are already used to not being believers. Llms make life easier for people who are routinely brainstorming and looking for new ideas and want to hear things explained in various ways.
