> Normal LLM use, fine, but I am not giving up reasoning.

Ouch! Reminds me of:

- I'm never going to use cell phones. I care about voice quality (me decades ago)

- I'm never going to use VoIP. I care about voice quality (everyone but me 2 decades ago).

- I'm never going to use a calculator. I am not going to give up on reasoning.

- I'm never going to let my kids play with <random other ethnicity>. I care about good manners.

Sure, keep slowly offloading more and more of your brain to technology. Until you won't be needed anymore.

    If that is the ultimate outcome, I assure you that your insistence on not using not only is not going to protect you - you'll be the first to be unemployed.

    I don't really get the sentiment. If you're in engineering/computers, you are fundamentally in the business of replacing people with technology. Cloud solutions resulted in people in IT/dev ops losing their jobs. So much SW out there has displaced real people in the last 5 decades.

    Do you want to go back to the days of dealing with switchboard operators to make phone calls?
