There's more and more research being done showing that AI usage can, and is, leading to a decline in critical thinking, and in skills that otherwise would be used
(just like... how many phone numbers do you know? not have in your phone, but know off the top of your head)

@fbarton Research is finallay picking up the pace. I remember someone ~9 yrs ago. He could never answer a question without grabbing his phone. Even simple things; he would search for the answer. This was the worst example. Offloading is a serious problem. I am used to storing & saving on the laptop, this also causes problems; I can't remember them because I didn't need to. I think switching between offloading and using your memory might become a massive new therapy. @NineStonesClose @scalzi
