I never learned as much as I do now while using ChatGpt as my tool. It's a deep and extremely powerful learning experience. It's like having both tutors and all libraries of the world in your hand. Way more positive sides than negative.
I agree that “cognitive offloading” helps people focus brain space on other important things that can lead to prosperity. But I also think that we shouldn’t stop reading books to learn. It’s a balancing act
Thanks for the feedback,You can now connect with me privately on simpieX Chat with the link below 👇
Marshall McLuhan noticed thatTV affected imagination. Disney's age of imagination....
Now search and AI affecting memory clearly. What you don't need atrophies.
I used to have a great memory, but know I'm not so sure.
I’ve wondered this for quite some time. I believe it’s a balance and some will have a much harder time than others. It takes a conscious choice to not let this happen and only use these tools as they’re designed, as tools, and not crutches.
My biggest fear around this is with my kids;
Will anyone actually LEARN anything anymore? Like really, fully engaged in the act of perfecting a skill, or a math problem, or having to write anything at all.
They hardly teach handwriting in my kid’s school. These are essential foundations for a cognitively competent individual.

The world needs more “ Good Mornings” 🤣
GM Jack. Back in the day I remembered by memory my dad's directions to get to place A and B...When maps came around, this was gone. Thanks for the reading!
FYI, I came here to nostr because you were outspoken about it almost two years ago. Thank you for not giving up and keep on trying yourself and helping others to build better and more free technology tools!
GM and thank you Jack 💜🧡
🍀don’t trust, verify
🫶show, don’t tell
☕️do your own research (Dyor)
Frequent dopamine/Sensory/cognitive Fasting whenever that dependence start creeping in , helps with recalibrating
"You won't always have a calculator in your pocket"
Our first memories as a human beings are related with our language learning: We renember when we are able to construct a narrative and that ability is tuned through our whole life.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I remember using ctrl-z for the first time in the 90's. Mistakes in real life were never the same after that.
just as calculators affected people's ability to do math in their head
it seems obvious that this would be true
This is true, I can bearley remember what I learnt yesterday.
pretty sure that just means you didn't learn anything yesterday, right?
Oh, I learn something every day. But retaining it so that I can regurgitate it takes repetitive effort. And as I get older, I'm becoming pickier and pickier as to what's important to maintain.
For instance, I work in the Information tech industry, and I'm becoming less and less interested in software development and the processors that go around it as time goes by.
The things I focus on nowadays are sovereignty and how to gain back what I've lost over the decades. This is what I focus my mind, but it takes hourly mental role-playing to reconfigure my indoctrinated mind.
Learning these days takes grunt work.
Live on Bitcoin. It's part of the solution to taking back your sovereignty.
I would learn how to setup my wallet so you could have collected the sweet #zap I would have sent you ☺️
I agree with everything you said though 💯!
Thought you might like my new spaceheater/Bitcoin miner from Unbound. Cheers! 
Technologies just makes our life better, easier and giving human independence.
"Last year, Oxford University Press announced that its word of the year was ‘brain rot’ — the deterioration of someone’s mental state caused by consuming trivial online content."
Actually, that's two words. 🤔
My guess is AI and technology, for many, will have, at worst, a neutral effect on memory. My reasoning is that spelling autocorrection has reduced the rate at which I mispell words rather than made me more likely to mispell words and I'm good at remembering a route even if I used a map the first time. Where, speaking personally, there is a danger is that curiosity makes it very easy distract myself and there is a danger of not focussing on things in-depth, which is covered later in that article. I don't confuse a Perplexity.ai (which I have found useful) explanation of something with in-depth knowledge and I sometimes hit the limit of an AI's knowledge - some of them are crap when that happens. The most annoying one is inferring what people usually mean when what people usually mean is absolutely not what I'm asking. It's not that I gave it an idiotic prompt it's just that it's more likely people make a mistake so it assumes I'd made a similar mistake. Prompting the man computer symbiosis equivalent of Basil Fawlty giving his Mini Metro a damn good thrashing. Plus a lot of stuff in the training sets is as likely to be wrong as the people who initially produced it.
Definitely true, but I am aware of this. I refuse to google things (chatgbt things) and try to remember in full deep-think mode, even if it takes minutes, I guess I must be fun at parties
this mus be the reason i keep forgetting everything
True 💫
When your second brain doesn’t complement but replaces your natural brain, you just get dumber! Seems about right!
The fact that there’s almost a non existent and monotonous reactive response to the thousands of posts that we see per minute, i think it’s anti natural…. And is something that could be of greater concern. I personally can’t stand it, like I start feeling my head tickling after not long
Oh, Zoe... I agree with you 💯 %
Yes.
100%.. Use these tools wisely. Spend time in the sun with a good book
yes 🤝
