How smart are you? Maybe I should ask a large language model. The rise of LLMs marks a seismic shift in how we "reflect" ourselves into the agora. With the press of a button, these tools generate text that mirrors human-like thought, unlocking doors to intellectual realms that might have seemed inaccessible. Yet, alongside this revolution lies a paradox: Are we amplifying our cognitive potential or outsourcing it entirely? Have we stepped into an era of unparalleled intellectual empowerment, or are we simply “hiding behind” the algorithm?

Yes, I think it will make certain people and personality types, even if they are smart, intellectually lazier than they are now. I'm not saying it won't happen to me either. Just making an observation.

True.
Although in some cases it might expedite human action. An LLM nudge might be the small ingredient that prompts people to create and develop their own original thoughts........but true, most people will get bitten by the lazy bug.
