@deFractal@infosec.exchange @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io +1. Confirmation bias works both ways........ that is what is so dangerous about this stuff. If you know you're interacting with one, it's much easier. But if you don't... demons form.

@bms48@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Even if you know what you're interacting with: cognitive atrophy is an inevitable result of cognitive outsourcing. The brain, like the muscles and skeleton, is a use-it-or-lose-it system. The body recycles tissue which is disused. Astronauts know full well the atrophy which results from weightlessness, and some occurs even despite the deliberate work they put into its mitigation.
