LLMs have taught me something that I sort of already knew from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: the key to problem solving is asking the right question in the first place. It's not dangerous that answers can be retrieved quickly. Indeed, people had the same things to say about Google in the 90s or pocket calculators in the 70s. To me LLMs just speed up the process by which I would have manually searched the internet for in the first place. The only way to get good at critical thinking is to ask more questions.
