AI Dumber

Over the last year, I realized something uncomfortable: The more I used AI for everything, the less I actually thought. I was getting answers instantly… but I didn’t understand how anything worked. My ability to reason deeply, break down problems, and think independently started to fade. That scared me. So I started experimenting with a different approach: What if AI didn’t give you the answer immediately? What if it forced you to think first — the way a good teacher or mentor would? That’s how the idea for AI Dumber was born. My goal isn’t to replace thinking — it’s to strengthen it. If you’re a student, coder, writer, or someone who wants to think better, I believe this kind of AI can actually make a huge difference. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Do you feel that instant-answer AI makes people mentally weaker?
