Agree that this LLM stuff 'dumbs down' or using a better word for it 'changes the human skill set'. Your real skills are reduced over time.
The LLM is like a broken mirror of your own skills and because the mirror is biased at some point you do not learn anymore, or learn the biased world, it becomes brain rot, you become the LLM pet. you cannot function without your owner...
On the negative side: The LLM uses fancy language to try to convince disinfo.
The danger is that you do not see this disinfo and it will shape your consciousness that is the trap.
However if you are lucky you learn to distrust the LLMs it's not a educated AI.
On the positive side: You can still use it as search engine or to get some ideas But you should continue on your own to increase your creative skills.
Your consciousness / attention is stolen on a daily basis to keep you occupied to do stuff. However this is already ongoing before LLMs, before the computer age.
I think at some point your consciousness will detect this brain rot at some point and evolve beyond.
Our body's has evolved to copy trait from others from childhood on, moreover it's also in our DNA itself its created to copy.
So the LLM is not any different but you should be aware which trait to copy.
