No. You’re making a faulty comparison. The thing in this article is exclusively for experts. Using it made them better doctors, but when they stopped using it, they were out-of-practice at the old way. Like any skill you stop exercising. Especially at an expert level. Your junior programmers incompetently trusting LLMs is not the same problem in any direction.

This is genuinely important, because people are developing prejudice against an entire branch of computer science. This stupid headline pretends AI made cancer detection worse. Cancer’s kind of a big deal! Disguising the fact that detection rates improved with this tool, by fixating on how they got worse without it, may cost lives.

A lot of people in this thread are theatrically advocating the importance of deep understanding of complex subjects, and then giving a kneejerk “fuckin’ AI, am I right?”
