I like this comment because you can frame a lot of other responses here using this GPS analogy. People saying LLMs help me think or help me learn (better my skill) or help me validate my ideas, etc. is like saying I use the GPS to improve my map reading skills, but the outcome would still be as you described.
edit: typo
By the way, reading maps is easy. Reading a map and memorising all the landmarks and turns so you can then drive without looking at the map is the hard bit. IMO.
