People use AI because it is cheaper than paying humans to think. Soon you won’t really be able to find human thinkers.

Some humans will need to interpret the thinking and apply it somewhere and take some responsibility for those decisions. If you think AI can do all that end to end it’s a different question but we’re nowhere near that right now.

Thinking doesn’t disappear because of OpenAI’s shitty LLM’s.

It certainly disappear for their customers however.

The hot-take that humans are going to stop thinking because of AI is the only convincing evidence of the idea i’ve come across so far.

Actually the point is total cost wise outside of subsidy it is not cheaper than humans. the bigger problem is as the parent said open AI created a market. It is selling a commodity service with investor funds. There is no moat. your second sentence soon you won't be able to find human thinkers is on its face absurd, assuming the human race continues. Thinking is the human ecological niche.
