I don’t think its the LLM usage that is doing this I think using it is exposing what was already there since some people who use it are genuinely improved by using them, and not just the dummies, there are people who know their stuff, using them to do more stuff, and not showing obvious cognitive impairments.

I think its just that many people got to where they can use ai in these ways by single mindedly focusing on one thing which meant being bad at the meta skills involved in keeping brains healthy across different contexts.
