If the tool is reliable, it's a win. Saved brain power doesn't disappear, it can be applied elsewhere.

If the tool is powerful enough to do a better job than our brains would, it's a big win. In fact, we built the entire technological civilization on one such fundamental tool: writing.

Or from another perspective: our brains excel at adapting to the environment we find ourselves in. The tools we build, the technology we create, are parts our environment.

This argument has held up in the past but there’s no certainty that during this current period where LLM’s are not perfect (and in many cases far from perfect) - they can ever become perfect that it’s fine for one’s existing human capital to depreciate.

i thought the point was to depreciate the human capital

make stock number go up and up and up and people get in the way

It’s our job not to fall for the trap if that is what is being said behind closed doors ;)

Edit - lol @ the bozo who downvoted my post. Is that you scam Altman?

I don’t think this holds for all tools in all situations. Sometimes the tools can do too much, especially when they start to do creative things.
