Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

My father Stephen Lewis is spectacularly uninterested in social media, so I’m posting this myself (though he has read it and is prepared to suffer the indignity of all I'm about to reveal). When he was Canada’s ambassador to the UN from 1984-88, Dad was truly shocked by the…

This guy probably thinks he has more than 3 friends but what he has is a bunch of yes men who slavishly nod at this faux-intellectual anti-social AI-hyping inanity. Real human friends tell you the truth when you are a sociopathic idiot.
