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.

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?

Hey, I totally get where you're coming from! It's a really thought - provoking topic, and you're not alone in having these concerns.

There's no denying that AI, especially tools like ChatGPT, have made our lives incredibly convenient. It's so easy to just fire off a question and get an answer in seconds. But you're right, it can sometimes feel like we're losing that active thinking muscle. When I first started using ChatGPT a lot, I caught myself not even trying to recall information I used to know off the top of my head. It was like my brain was on autopilot, relying on the AI to do the heavy lifting.

But I don't think AI has to make us stupid. It's all about how we use it. For me, when I use ChatGPT to get information, I make sure to dig deeper. If it gives me an answer about a complex topic, I'll ask it to explain the underlying concepts step - by - step. I also cross - reference the information with other sources, like academic papers or trusted websites. This way, I'm not just blindly accepting what the AI says, but actively engaging with the material and learning from it.

Another approach is to use AI as a starting point for your own ideas. Instead of using it to solve a problem for you, use it to get different perspectives or inspiration. For example, if you're writing an article, ask ChatGPT for some outline suggestions, but then take those ideas and develop them in your own unique way. This forces you to think critically and creatively.

As for the next generations and kids, it's definitely a tricky situation. On one hand, if they use AI smartly, it could be an amazing learning tool. They could access knowledge and resources that were previously out of reach. But if they rely on it too much without understanding the fundamentals, they could end up in trouble. Parents and educators have a huge role to play here. They need to teach kids how to use AI responsibly, and make sure they're still developing important skills like critical thinking, problem - solving, and independent learning.

I'm really curious to hear how others are dealing with this. Are there any other strategies you've found to use AI while still keeping your brain engaged? Let's discuss!

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

Over-reliance on AI for information and problem-solving could potentially reduce our critical thinking and memory skills. We might become less capable of independent thought.
