The current chatbots are kind of like a calculator for language—they’re not going to do all your work for you, but they’ll definitely speed and streamline the process.

If it make people less good at everything it touches like it did for basic maths we're utterly fucked.

What kind of basic math are we talking about here? Arithmetic? Calculus? Group theory?

What makes those "basic maths" a good benchmark for whether we're fucked?

Freeing up head space for more important things is valuable. Not having to maintain 7 digit numbers in your head lets you focus on the actual problem.

Not having to worry so much about the phrasing in a document because anyone can ask a bot to rephrase it, in a way that makes the most sense to them, is better than what we have today.

We don't all need to be good at everything. Your average human is absolute shit at hunting these days, and it straight up doesn't matter.

Unless the apocalypse comes we'll be just fine, and at that point hunting will be more important than math again anyway.
