Would you drive without looking at the road (or blindfolded) because we now have autonomous vehicles?

Not looking at where you are driving and also never looking or understanding what the code does, makes no sense in the long term. Especially in the event of a disaster.

Both have something called "liability" and it gets expensive when it goes wrong.

Does that mean we should blindly follow them? Just because someone else is doing it does not mean you should too.

A better questions is...have we lost the ability to think for ourselves because we have LLMs doing all the thinking instead?
