> I'm sure people got worse at arithmetic after the invention of the calculator

For LLMs, we can see this sentence but replace "arithmetic" with a variable X

I'm sure people got worse at X after the invention of LLMs"

The problem isn't that X skills atrophy necessarily

The problem is that for LLMs, X is "basically all knowledge and communication skills"

Can we really tolerate a society where "basically all knowledge and communication skills" are atrophying?
