Personally I think the impact of LLMs on children's education is a crisis right now.

Kids are not going to learn to write if an LLM writes their essays for them. And writing is how you learn to think.

I don't think it's just a problem for kids! I think this is problem for many software engineers as well! Adults of all professions really.

There's also reading. A lot of reading can substitute some writing.

EDIT: Actually, I'd say that at first you need to do a lot of reading and _then_ writing can help your thinking as well.
