It’s way worse than groupthink. Groupthink is a natural thing that comes from humans being inherently social. Using LLMs for thinking is basically offloading your brain and letting a corporation turn it into a product for you.

No more than? Id say it’s way more.
Group think is a passive acceptance of beliefs you have read/interacted with, without any desire to challenge those beliefs even if one feels they might not be accurate.
Using LLMs to answer basic questions is the active delegation of thinking to another entity. You’re delegating the entire task, and alleviating yourself of all thought.
It’s like comparing someone using multiplication tables to calculate a sum, Vs using a calculator; except in this instance, the calculator is only accurate 1/3 of the time.
