> What makes those "basic maths" a good benchmark for whether we're fucked?

They weren't saying basic maths was a good benchmark for whether we're fucked, they said that if GPT does for every other skill what calculators did for basic maths — viz. make us forget all the fundamentals and rely on computers for everything — we're fucked.

My personal opinion is that sometimes our head space is maybe a little too freed up by tool-assisted thinking, and we lose the ability to focus and concentrate.
