Well. In an ideal world, LLMs would be used this way, as a tool to help automate the bullshit and let the person driving worry about other stuff.

But I never see them actually used this way. At the big institution end, companies and universities will continue to force AI tools on their employees in heavy handed and poorly thought out ways, and use it as an excuse to fire people whenever budgets get tight (or investors demand higher profits). At the opposite scale, with individual users, it’s really alarming how rapidly people seem to stop thinking with their own brain and offload all critical thinking to an LLM. That’s not “extending your capabilities,” that’s letting all your skills atrophy while you train a machine to be your shitty replacement.
