Is AI making us stupid?
I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...
with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.
Have you noticed that when using Chat GPT or AI you don't even bother to think anymore?
So I use it to get information and I think I'm learning something, but I don't know if I'm really learning anything when AI does everything for me.
It's like a modern calculator that gives you the result without you understanding the processes and structures behind the calculations.
Is AI making us stupid? How do you approach using AI so that you still can learn and "use" your brain more actively?
IMO this will be a huge thing for the next generations and kids because if they rely too much on AI, they can become either geniuses or very lazy and illiterate people.

Maybe not completely stupid, but definitely less educated in some ways. AI is great for looking up answers and making tasks easier, but there are still things we need to learn and do ourselves. Relying too much on AI can make people lazy when it comes to critical thinking and problem-solving. I also got some help with my coursework from Academized https://academized.com/write-my-coursework, and it was a huge relief, but that doesn’t mean they should do all my homework, right? At the end of the day, we still need to put in the effort to truly learn and grow

Personally, I use AI for education. It depends on the individual and his/her ambitions.
AI is a powerful tool, but like any tool, it depends on how we use it. If we let it think for us, we risk losing critical skills. But if we use it to enhance our thinking—asking better questions, analyzing deeper—it can be a game-changer. Balance is key. What do you think?

It is like that but not everyone thinks this way. Unfortunately.
Totally get this take.. I’ve felt it too.
But I think it’s less about AI making us “stupid” and more about how we use it.
We're building an AI Executive Assistant ..not to do thinking for people, but to remove the noise so they can make better decisions, faster.
It's not about replacing thought, it’s about clearing the clutter around it.
Curious what kinds of AI interactions actually make you feel sharper?
I want to share my experience because, in my opinion, AI doesn’t make things stupid—it actually enhances them. I use the Wink app for video editing, and its AI-powered features are truly amazing.
I also want to share that I got this app for free from a website that provides older versions of Wink Mod APK for download. My phone wasn’t compatible with the latest version, so I downloaded an older version from there and enjoyed this premium tool for free
