The thing with AI users having their brain rotted reminds me of when gps units for autos first became popular. I was working an upgrade ant for lunch, a bunch of us piled into someone’s car (me in the back seat) and they set the gps to take us to a restaurant. After eating, we pile back in and sit there. “I need to set the site as destination”. I rattled off the reverse route off the top of my head and the driver was amazed. He paid no attention to landmarks, so he had no idea how to get back
Not a perfect analogy, but I image that AI users are similar in that they forget how to look at things and just rely on the machine, rather than using the machine as a guide while paying attention to what they’re doing. Hell, people still die by just blindly following the gps down a supposed road that’s actually a cattle trail
