This is a level of dystopian helplessness I have a hard time wrapping my head around.
LLMs are not a bad tool, provided you control them. Using Llama 2 deployed locally is far from dystopian.
I haven't tried Llama for code generation yet, maybe I should give it a try now

Next you'll tell me I shouldn't use a calculator, or a computer at all. The conceptual level at which I work benefits massively from the recent developments in LLMs, and to stop training myself for the new meta means to drastically fall behind and possibly miss my goals. There is absolutely no reason not to evolve alongside this new technology.
Imagine that the calculator breaks, and you need to do some quick math. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Cell Phones and such.) It is good to know how to do math without a calculator for those edge cases where one is not available, or when you can't do the equations that you need with it. Calculators are good. Calculators are useful. Calculators accelerate your workflow beyond what your ancestors could do. Not knowing how to do…

It's a nice thought, but I can apply this chain of reasoning to no end of technologies without which scientific progress in a given domain would entirely halt.

The calculator is not a service but a tool. Until LLMS don't become just a tool don't rely on them too much or expect it be broken and have a workaround for that.
This won't remain true for long and so it is actually harmful to my career to not invest time learning how to use these tools now, instead of waiting for the time when they are perfect.

the fact you even think they are comparable to a calculator is scary. they're not in any way comparable.
I have no idea what to do right now, I use ChatGPT all day while studying new concepts. It condenses time needed to understand complex new information by several magnitudes, and at this juncture studying without it seems pointless, it's rapidly become an extra layer in my brain.
> I have no idea what to do right now Well, humanity has managed to "know what to do" for thousands of years but here you are, completely lost without ChatGPT. Achievement unlocked .

It's not the tool that is dystopian, it's the mindset expressed in the post.

I will ask you the same question about the information which you read on the internet. Whatever your answer is, apply that to ChatGPT. It is no different.
you read sources and original works, did you actually think this was a gotcha? you are depriving yourself of proper learning and knowledge lol
I read scientific papers, articles and references in one pane while keeping GPT open in another pane to help me make the most use out of the knowledge in the quickest timeframe. I frequently browse additional resources in order to corroborate information.
Please do not project onto me. Ask questions about my process before assuming I'm "depriving myself", which you are likely ironically doing yourself in light of your attitude towards GPT.

Stochastic parrots don't give you the original source. In fact they make up sources on the spot. That is worse than a search engine.
