Now, and not just with LLMs but before that, people are outsourcing their thinking.

I agree with your main point. This part, though, is misanthropy disguised as anticapitalism. People don’t just turn off their brains when a certain form of thought becomes obsolete. The simple calculator has obviated the need to perform manual arithmetic. Did people stop thinking or doing math? No, instead what used to be the product of mental labor became an object of a new mental labor at a higher level of abstraction.
