“Large language models and the path to our higher self”

I agree with Alison Gopnik that LLMs can be deen as cultural tools to augment rather than than replace human intellect. This article also makes that case

Large Language Models and the Path to Our Higher Self
LLMs are transformative tools that enhance human creativity and thought, offering new ways to imagine, create, and connect with the world around us.
