That fear assumes humans have some expanding ability to context switch as the speed of information given to them increases, something I have little belief in.

If you can’t context switch faster, and embed yourself in the next task completely, in a way that lets you articulate the problem correctly to the LLM so that it can produce a correct answer for you, it can’t help you.

Right on the other hand it can’t replace us. The way LLMs work now…they are purely augmentative, the kind of experience that could work would be one of aid rather replacement. But of course, finding that experience will be tough.
