> the ability to distill out an idea into its most concentrated, compressed essence, so it can be diluted, expanded, and reworded ad infinitum by the LLMs

Nobody said people haven’t rendered themselves unable to understand poetry or literature through the ages. Nor that these skills haven’t had a distinct class mark to them.

Same here. Someone who relies on LLMs to speak and read will not be able to compete in a live environment. (Someone who uses them as a tool may gain an advantage. But that’s predicated on having the base skill.)

That's an interesting image, having a mobile connections to AI and having it tell me what I should say in any interactive situation. But, I don't think you would get much respect from other people if that is all we do. Gaining the respect of others I believe is the way to succeed in life.

Further much anybody could repeat that, make AI responsible for all their speech, and even actions. But less we use our own brains, the less we learn, and thus cannot gain a competititve advantage over other AI-users. The most rewarded original thoughts and ideas probabaly need to come from outside of AI since AI is trained on people's original text outputs.
