Outsourcing your thinking to AI is a... choice.

To be honest, for a lot of people this is a good decision. AI is already better at cognition and research than a fairly good chunk of the population. If they start thinking at a reasonable level with the help of AI, we all will benefit. Obviously Grok isn’t the best choice but still probably better than what a lot of them would come up with on their own.

Until ai companies decide / get pressured by politicians to push a certain agenda, and there is no critical thinking left for people to realize it.

I also worry about this. But people who give up their thinking to AI probably weren’t capable of critical thought to begin with.

AKA if you’re already bleeding, what does it change to get stabbed another time 🤷 As if things in life weren’t a gradient.

At the moment LLM’s will give them considerably better answers than conservative media, I’d count it a win. Maybe it won’t always be that way but it’s that way now.

I’m not sure this is true. In the case of chat bots, you to some extent drive the direction it will go. It is possible to get it into a conspiratorial mode just by the way you talk to it and it will reinforce that.

This is true. I’d actually really like to observe someone who lacked critical thinking using one. I have had them quote them to me, and they were less off base than usual., so antecdotally in my experience they do seem to help.
