Shrug. Seems like clutching pearls to me. People seem to have an emotional reaction and obsess on the aspects that differentiate human cognition from LLMs. But that is a lot of wasted energy.

To the extent that anyone avoids employing these technologies, they will be at a disadvantage to those who do; because these tools just work. Already. Today.

There isn't even room for debate on that issue. Again, the proof is in the pudding. These systems are already successfully, usefully, and correctly answering millions of questions a day. They have failure modes where they produce substandard or even flat out incorrect answers too. They're far from perfect, but they're still incredible tools, even without waiting for the improvements that are sure to come.
