Heavy LLMs Users Seem to Have Lost Ability to Read, Forcing Closure of Many Apps

Heavy LLM users seem to be losing reading skills. Many app requests are denied due to policy non-compliance.
Concerns are growing that people who heavily rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) may be losing their ability to read and understand information on their own. This issue has led to a significant number of app inclusion requests being rejected due to non-compliance with "AI" policy. The requestors often mistakenly believe their apps meet the criteria, highlighting a deeper problem of overreliance on LLMs.
This phenomenon matters because it underscores the risks of human overreliance on LLMs for critical thinking. As research has shown, unlearning specific knowledge from LLMs is a complex and contested issue, with potential consequences for both the models and their users. The fact that many app requests are being rejected suggests that this overreliance is already having practical consequences.
As the use of LLMs continues to grow, it will be important to watch how this issue develops and whether steps are taken to address the potential unlearning effects. Further research into the effectiveness of unlearning methods and the educational implications of LLMs will be crucial in understanding and mitigating these risks.
