> We’re in a world where LLMs are basically going to be extensions of how we think

If that's the case then we're in trouble based on my experience. This week I've been using ChatGPT to help figure out some old linux platform that I need to resurrect. It's very good at quickly searching and surfacing relevant information online, and that's helpful, but if I did not have a lot of experience at linux administration to be able to see where it was suggesting the wrong thing, or initially dismissing the right thing, then I'd just be thrashing.

The LLM is helping me because I know what I need, and it can search and read faster than I can. But it's not really very smart.
