This is something that the rise of LLMs has highlighted for me. Sometimes, we don't care to apply our intelligence to a problem. I've come to think of myself as "acting like an LLM" when I do this.

It reminds me of Kahneman's "system 1" (fast) and "system 2" (slow) thinking. LLMs are system 1 - fast, intuitive, instinctual. Humans often think that way. But we can also break out system 2 when we choose to, and apply logic, reason, etc.
