You probably don’t need an LLM to assist you, but the average human is terribly incompetent. I work in higher education and even people with PhDs often fail to type up a coherent email.
If someone got a PhD without being able to write a coherent sentence, that says more about how we're handing out PhDs to unqualified people than it does that we need LLMs to solve that.
Ai is not going to help people be smarter or be more competent: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2025/01/lee_2025_ai_critical_thinking_survey.pdf
I’m convinced that it won’t help incompetent people magically become competent. I’m also convinced that some people will use it to speed up their work.
