Replying to Avatar HoloKat

The idea that new tech makes us dumber is not a new one. People said TV will make you dumber. Then they said the search engine will make you dumber. Now they say LLMs will make you dumber.

They were all right.

The only way you retain your ability to think is by reading books.

All technology does is unlock access to information, which naturally bypasses your necessity to remember and analyze things.

Not sure I see it the same way as you. I would replace the word dumber with a word or phrase that describes either a skill transfer or a cycling out of “old” skills and a cycling in of new ones.
