Now that LLMs have appeared, people tend to think less than before by simply asking AI to help them, this seems to have decreased people's deep thinking ability
Patrick Theuri
It Depends on Usage
- Passive reliance on LLMs (e.g., copy-pasting answers) likely diminishes deep thinking.
- Active engagement (e.g., critiquing AI outputs, using them as scaffolding for original work) may enhance it.
Historically, tools like calculators and search engines triggered similar fears, but humans adapted by shifting focus to higher-level skills. The key is mindful usage—treating LLMs as collaborators, not crutches.
