That doesn't mean that this time isn't different, but it does make me very cognizant of my own biases. Historically, what has happened is huge disruption but also a massive leap forward as humans figure out how to leverage the new technology.Also, I have not seen any research that indicates that LLMs limit people's capacity for critical thinking. What I have seen is research that suggests that using LLMs has reduced people's performance on certain writing tasks (but even this is controversial, as there are also studies suggesting, for example, that using LLM's has led to measurable improvements on skills like writing). Human brains haven't suddenly changed; what will have changed is how they are applied.I think it is far, far too early to take a confident position on how this will shake out.</blockquote>
