I find it terrifying that people are willing to outsource thinking. Outsourcing thinking to an entity that is opinionated about what to think is beyond crazy.

What’s the difference between outsourcing thinking and using an LLM as a research tool?

An LLM with fetch/search is going to be a lot more effective than myself and Google. I would _never_ ask questions like this if the LLM wasn’t able to look up data
