Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

I have worried about this. We offload cognitive effort and fail to learn. Learning requires a lot of work to establish and reinforce pathways. AI, by bypassing the work, deprives children of the opportunity to acquire cognitive skills.

@tompearce49 I think the big question is, will it become locked-in before we have a lost generation? It's becoming apparent the widespread switch to EdTech devices has had negative results, compared to that this is like the iceberg and the Titanic!
