The difference between a cure and a poison is the dose. LLMs are no different. If it’s your gut reaction to go to an LLM with a critical thinking challenge first, you’ve already lost. Semantic mirror is a great description. It’s similar to writing information you already know down as notes. You’re giving your brain a new way to review and interpret the information. If you weren’t capable of solving the problem traditionally, but just with more time, I’d have to imagine it’s unlikely the LLM will bridge that gap.
Some shit is just straight up poison though.
