It's not the same with LLMs. What the study finds out is actually much more serious. When you use a phone or a calculator, you don't lose cognitive faculties. But when you delegate the thinking process to an LLM, your Brain gets phisically changed, witch leads to a cognitive damage. It's a completely different league.

Of course you do. I used to be able to multiply two two-digit numbers in my head. Now, my brain freezes and I reach for a calculator.
