> To me that's a Faustian bargain. Every time someone hands off the boring stuff to the machine, I'd wager they're weakening the parts of themselves that they call upon when they want to work on the 'interesting' stuff.

It's worse than that, people who rely too much on the AI never learn how to tell when it is wrong.

This is different from things like "nobody complains about using a calculator".

A calculator doesn't lie; LLMs on the other hand lie all the time.

(And, to be fair, even the calculator statement isn't completely true. The reason why the HP 12C is so popular is that calculators did lie about some financial calculations (numerical inaccuracy). It was deemed too hard for business majors to figure out when and why so they just converged on a known standard.)
