It's a philosophical argument more than anything I think. And it does beg the question, does your mind form itself around with the humans (entities?) you converse with? So if you talk with a lot of smart people, you'll end up a bit smarter yourself, and if you talk with a lot of dull people, you'll end up dulling yourself. If you agree with that, I can see how someone would believe that LLMs would pull people closer to the material they were trained on.
