And this is already happening. I have a few acquaintances that will ask ChatGPT thinks they could readily find on Wikipedia, or use it as a shortcut for mental effort. They've become dependent, even addicted, to this patient butler that can work and think for them; who cares if it makes some mistakes? They'll just ask it more.

Once enough people become like this, they will gladly pay to keep it, they'll consider it a basic necessity.
