Being serious though, this cognitive offload issue with LLMs reminds me a lot of when GPS navigation became mainstream, and people would just trust it and decide to take extremely ill-advised "roads" and drive off bridges and into swamps and so on.

I feel like LLM cognitive offload is going to be an extremely serious issue in the coming years, especially for younger people growing up with this stuff.

    Did people stop trusting GPS off bridges, or is it just no longer newsworthy?

    No and kinda? It still happens all the time, and it still gets news coverage, but it's not as widespread news coverage as before, tends to be more in the local/regional news than widely shared (inter-)nationally. I did a quick search and many stories from the last few years.

    I mean decades ago I dove through a road expansion zone and saw a car stuck in the concrete because they decided to drive around the barriers like a jackass - and that's a phenomena that I think most people have heard of if not seen personally. The point being that stupid people aren't a new thing, it's just expanding in scope because some of them are outsourcing what little thought they previously used to buggy machines.
