Using llms is the equivalent of driving to the store that's 3 blocks away, just like how that's bad for your body (if done all the time), using llms is as bad for your brain.
Before LLMs, we started relying on certain technologies like Maps apps to navigate, now people can't even get around their own town without having access to various cloud services. The implications of not being able to work, think plan without access to an llm are really bad. Its going to destroy your brain and make you an incredibly average person at best.
LLM people are going to lose the ability to read and think for yourself and then your competency is going to be 1:1 correlated to the quality and quantity of tokens you can afford, or a billionaire is willing to allow you access too. Your work will be the mean (at best), because it will the same quality of output everyone else is capable of.
This is seriously the biggest trap by tech. Your bargaining power for your labor is going to get drastically reduced because you won't be able to differentiate your value from anyone else that has access to an LLM. What happens when everyone has the same skill level for certain work? Idk, ask McDonald's employees how replaceable they are. Use them wisely (or not/hardly at all) don't drive to the store 3 blocks away for every little thing you need.
You can continue doing that. The problem here is time and cost. If you can use the calculator to do something in seconds, why would you want to use your hands to do the calculations for minutes/hours.

And coding will soon be the equivalent of walking between two cities because you don't want to use a car (LLM). You are free to do it, its just economically not sound anymore.

Its not our values that will diminish, its the cost of our intelligence, human intelligence. But I agree with the rest of your comment.
