Long-time lurker.

Personally I stopped using LLMs much from around 6 months ago. I was using them regularly prior to that.

I noticed these dimensions of myself increased:

- Patience - Focus - Ability to hold concepts and reason for longer

and other related qualities improved.

My personal experience tells me they do degrade or hinder oneself from operating maximally. Some may be more sensitive than others - we aren't all the same.

But one thing for sure - younger generations will be more sensitive as they are already exposed to products that are designed to erode their self-control.
