That's hard to understand! Is it laziness or lack of confidence that they can do better themselves?

If used properly I think LLMs can be very helpful but I don't know that a majority of people will have the discipline not to rely on them too much or in ways they shouldn't.

That's a sad state of affairs in academia. I hope methods and tools evolve to find away around it or else I see a societal separation happening—those who can still think/act on their own and those who must rely on AI to perform daily tasks/responsibilities.

I just keep telling myself we're going through a chaotic, transformational few years and things will settle down soon. I hope that's the case anyway.
