TLDR
A post sharing “Large-Language Models as a Cognitive Virus” says the paper argues that a small increase in large language model adoption could trigger a much larger jump in cognitive dependence. The post describes a feedback loop: outsourcing mental tasks can weaken the habits that sustain those skills. It says the paper argues for protecting independent reasoning before a possible tipping point, after which simply reducing AI use may not restore the previous level of independence.
