Imagine if only KB Home and D.R. Horton had access to power tools while all the other homebuilders big and small had to use hand saws and screwdrivers. Would they be incapable of building houses without power tools? No. Will they be relatively screwed as companies? Yes.

This is exactly what I'm seeing all over the place. I'd like to say it's not true for me, but I'd probably be lying a little bit to say so. It is causing some atrophy in my skillset. One could argue that I'm gaining something different through LLM usage like "getting good at asking the model questions" or something, but it doesn't frankly feel like a skill which is all that useful on a going forward basis.
