> At the end of the day, it is a tool and it depends on how you use it. It may destroy the research ability of the average person, but for the power user it is an intelligence accelerator IMO.

You live in a planet with billions of other humans. Maybe you are using LLMs carefully and always verifying outputs but most people definitely are not and it is naive to believe that is only their problem. It will soon be your problem too, because what those people do will eventually come back to bite you.

An unrelated quote from John Green feels appropriate:

> Let me explain why I like to pay taxes for schools even though I personally don’t have a kid in school. It’s because I don’t like living in a country with a bunch of stupid people.

One day you’ll be deeply affected by a code bug or clerical decision caused by someone who blindly accepted the words of whatever LLM they were using. An LLM which can itself be created with specific bias, like denying the existence of a country, rejecting scientific consensus, or simply trying to sell you a product.
