I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

And by this I don’t even mean “refusing to use LLMs for anything at all” - they do have some use cases - I mean “refusing to outsource huge swaths of your day to day brain functions to the lying machine.”

The most important skills for “using AI” are problem framing and analysis skills that you only learn by solving problems the old fashioned way. I believe that AI is good for more than just search but you can’t access any of those capabilities if you don’t know how to set up the problem properly.
