Not really. People stop analyzing problems via critical thinking because things are becoming too convenient. Just look at social media. It's so easy to access information, people stop analyzing the data and blindly believe things that they're fed via the algorithms. These algorithms highly favor controversial material because it boosts visibility of ads. This wasn't always the case. It became this way because it's an easy way to make money. Now that money isn't enough, it's abused for political power.
For now LLMs might seem like a good tool, but if people lose the ability to do their own research, what stops them from believing just about anything an LLM bot tells them? Remember how grok turned into a Nazi bot? That wasn't very long ago...
It just takes one generation to completely lose this ability. Don't take it so lightly please. At least try to keep yourself mentally aware of potential problems with tech. Especially since almost all of the tech is owned by Nazi cunts.
