The Paradox of AI: If It Can't Replace us, Is It Making Us Dumber? | HackerNoon
Briefly

AI’s rapid advancement is reshaping how we process information and perform tasks, leading to increased efficiency but also risk of cognitive decline as we rely on it over time.
Relying on AI for instant answers eliminates the cognitive engagement previously required in tasks like researching or planning, potentially making our reasoning skills weaker.
Studies indicate that when we stop challenging our brains with complex problem-solving, our skills can atrophy, similar to how neglected muscles weaken without exercise.
As AI takes over routine intellectual tasks, we face a paradox: while enjoying convenience, we may also be surrendering our cognitive functions and critical thinking capabilities.
