For what it's worth, even this reply reads like LLM output. It's not "quote describing the scenario", it's "some other linked-in-coded plot twist". If you're the average of the people you spend the most time around, and you spend the most time around a chatbot, do you start to absorb its speech patterns and logic structures?

As one famous agent said: “I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is of course what this is all about.”

An argument can be as old as the search engine and hold real value. There are ways in which unreflective search engine use has misled and mistrained people.

There’s always been argument to be had about how we manage and offload attention, what we gain and what we lose when resistance is reduced. It’s part of reflection that’s been necessary in order to make progress solid ground, and is more necessary with non-deterministic tech.

The phrase “Tactical tornados” may be older than web search and describes people who also got a lot done.

Nah, you are just producing a bunch of slop and hope that nobody notices.

> I'm getting a shit ton of work done.

It’s weird when people are proud of doing ton of work. Im the opposite, Im proud that Im doing minimal stuff without llms.
