All of which are parts of the writing and thinking skillset, no?

Right. It can enhance that skillset. Are you suggesting it can’t?

This wouldn’t be a plausible position.

  • Rather that avoiding delegating it to LLM for these tasks helps you practice that skill.

    That said, I think it depends how you use it. You can learn from explanations, and you'd better avoid "rewrite this for me and do nothing else" kind of approach.

    • Right, but the LLM can help you practice the skill too. Without the LLM, you're in a self-guided, autodidactical mode. Obviously, that can have its own advantages, but most people—but especially novices—aren't in a position to assess their skill level or their progress. The average person isn't going to magically get better at thinking or writing without formal training, or at least some direction.
