Blog Post 1: AI and the Quit Erosions of Human Cognition

I was watching a TikTok video that talked about how youth are using AI for simple tasks. One lady uses AI to generate a grocery list because she "gets confused on what to buy, because there are so many options". This might seem small and ahrmless but it reflects a larger shift happening in our everyday. Artificial Intelligence is no longer helping us with complex issues, it is increasingly being used for brainstorming, organization, therapy, and even decision-making. This raises an important question: What happens to human thinking when machines think for us? The brainworks on a "use it or lose it' principle. The less we use our brains to brainstorm and critically think is the more we lose our ability to generate new ideas and learn and grow as a society. People are surrounded by technology that makes life easier, but also more controlled and less engaging. today AI does not dominate, but it creeps in in a way that we do not realize that we are diminishing our intelligence at a slight inconvenience rather than figuring ourselves out and diminishing our intelligence. It has been shown that cognition happens through the human brain; it is how we make our memories, create experiences, and solve real-world problems. When we leave all the planning and decision-making to AI, the problem is not that AI will become smarter than humans, but humans will cease to function on a cognitive level and stop trusting their ability to operate without technology. enter link description here[enter link description here] (https://httpsmediumcom-at-markaherschbergis-ai-just-a-tool-for-lazy-people-542c29a08020)
