Agreed, although simply using LLMs to do your thinking for you is only going to decrease your value in the workplace and make you more replaceable. The goal needs to be learning how to use AI to expand your thinking, counteract your biases, improve the quality of your work, and accelerate your learning.
Like anything else, using the tool properly requires skill and care.
If AI can do it for you, then let it. If it can't, that's where your value lies. If you just refuse to let it do things it can do well, you will be replaced by someone who's probably not as smart as you but simply willing to let AI do what it does well.
