So there’s been a study that shows that the use of AI does make you dumber.
Watch this YouTube vid for more details.
Users don’t engage with materials so they are convinced they know things but can’t even recite basics of the material.
Perfect.
I didn’t expect anything different.

“When individuals fail to critically engage with a subject, their writing might become biased and superficial.”
Management-level Thinking
This has been true for many years (before AI) and I’ve often confronted it bec Managers who “think they know” often try to tell you how something works based upon nothing.
I can only imagine how bad this will get under AI. Oof.
“Independent thinking” is, of course, the enemy of all status quo organizations.
And all organizations are status quo bec there is always a manager who doesn’t want his cheese moved.
Well, I guess this clears up why everyone wants AI in everything.
