The usage of AI makes people stupider, which is a known fact. And you want it to become part of normal life?

Ai users (like you) ridicule users that don't want to use it. It's easier to use than to think.

AI users take what GPT says for truth even though the models continue to degrade.

Ai users don't care about learning, they just want results.

Yeah no, if that's supposed to be our future, I will gladly be hostile against it.

"Computers make people stupider" have also been a known fact when personal computers became common.

I'm sure we can trace back "new thing makes people stupider" arguments back to Aristóteles. It's a common human trope.

Are you positive they haven't? Or are you just balking at the idea that skills your grandfather had are fully lost on you.

Not going to school might make a population stupider. What happens when "using the computer" is kind of like "not going to school"?

Critical thinking is the important part. Being able to criticize thought and results of thing.

Critical thinking is work, though. If the computer can skip the thinking for you, when does it happen?
