The push for LLMs and similar AI is somewhat reminiscent of Nestle's vile attempts to replace breast milk with artificial milk:
"Nestlé distributes free (artificial milk) formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with (the mother's) lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula."

This is sort of what LLM companies are doing, deskilling people with free LLMs so they become dependent, then raising the LLM prices once people are incapable of carrying out tasks themselves.

All organisms have an instinct to conserve energy. The moment anything is 'done for you', you instinctively stop doing it. It requires personal awareness and discipline to resist this instinct.
I've met lots of people now who don't how to turn on their own headlights. Never mind people who can't fucking spell or write grammatically on their own.
