> Actual muscles need exercise to stay in shape (let alone grow), so does the brain. Can we really be sure that thoughts, opinions, taste will still come out sharper and faster after five, ten, 20 years of using these tools almost every day? It occurred to me recently how because the LLMs have to potential to lead to intellectual/skill atrophy, they are a factor which could lead to an Idiocracy-esque [0] situation. And while it's a well-established Fermi Paradox [1] hypothesis that AI could lead to the violent destruction of a civilization, I think it's also worth considering that they could non-violently lead to their decline due to intellectual atrophy.
