Lots of good points in the replies here, but I want to make the perhaps secondary point that the automation of thought is generally just bad for you. Dgmw AI (even LLMs) has its uses, but we're already seeing the atrophying effects on some people, and in my experience as a teacher I have seen a number of people for whom chat bot dependency has become a serious problem on a par with drug addiction. I dread to think what's going to happen to these people when we enter the 'jack up the prices' phase of the grift, let alone the 'have you considered product/voting X may solve your problems' phase, which is currently only being held back by engineering difficulties.
