Without AI you'd still need to check everything, no? It's just you reach that stage faster with LLMs doing a lot of the heavy lifting

Yes, but without helping the billionaires turn into trillionaires and my own brain into a useless appendage.


So, it's useful and helpful to people doing the actual work, but you still want to complain.


Collating data from hundreds of sources isn't really what's keeping your brain working


Yet using an LLM seems to make it work less https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872v1


So does using search, should we go back to borrowing print and handwritten notes?

If you apply the spared capacity to a different task you're still getting your brain workout.

But yeah you'll have trouble quoting from sources you didn't read. Ohh no.
