    That is distinctly different from arithmetic but faster or writing but faster.

    But not “problem-solving but faster”.

      Correct, yes.

      Prior to this technology there was some “higher” or more complex skill that could be learned that encorporated the new tool. The human brain stays relevant only in a new and more expansive space.

      This tool does not do that. There is nothing more advanced the human brain can do beyond problem solving.

      There is an entire field of research dedicated to this; RBV. Things like a lathe or a calculator are “complementary tools” under RBV, humans can utilize them without loss of the skill that enables them. LLM’s are “substitutive” tools under RBV, they replace human skills without enhancement.

      Here, there’s a whole paper about it.
