The future looks especially bleak because LLMs, for many who I work with, are doing with logic what Google did with memory. 'Just ask chatgpt' will be a thing ; maybe not chatgpt, probably indeed just google but with a their chatbot which can do 'logic' and abstractions built in.
Google -> you don't need a longterm memory, just Google it.
So with good LLMs (and the latest iteration of chatgpt is really good at a lot of things you don't want bore yourself with), you don't need to process logic and abstraction as it will do it for you.
This is not yet there for everyone but I think it will work the same. Lazy the mind and have less and less rigor where the abstractions get more abstract and also more shallow.
