that's why I mostly use chatgpt with platonic questions like

- given context c, i tried idea a, b and c. where there other options that I miss ?

- based on this plan, do you see missing efficiency ?

etc etc

i'm not seeking answers, i'm trying to avoid costly dead ends

Same here. I never really consciously saw it as "defiance" against cognitive decline or anything. More to the point, the answers are much better on average

I think you are in a minority, you WANT to learn.

probably, or should I say, I don't want to rot.. It's true that I love the feeling of learning mostly on my own, but i can be lazy too, it's just that I see a parallel with abusing chatgpt and never doing any physical activity.
