That's only one side of the article's point though. The other, more consequential part is:
>Like most writers, I find writing an almost-essential tool for thinking. Often it's only by writing something down, that I can really get my thoughts on a topic into coherence. ... . As more people delegate writing to LLMs they will also delegate thinking and comprehension to LLMs.
There's an analogy with LLM coding that is so screamingly obvious I'm embarrassed to point it out (changing "writer" for "programmer").
I'm curious to know if the author, given who he is, thought of it (he had to, its just too obvious) and what he thinks of it.
