One of the biggest examples in the commercial consumer industry is GPS maps. Once those were introduced, when you study cognitive performance, people would lose spatial knowledge and spatial memory in cities that they're not familiar with - just by relying on GPS systems.

Like many students, Nicole Acevedo has come to rely on artificial intelligence. The 15-year-old recently used it to help write her speech for her quinciñera. When she waits too long on completing homework, Nicole admitted, she leans on the technology so she can hand assignments in on time.
