Cognitive Atrophy
Coming soon to a friend near you.



Almost all questions can be answered by AI now

1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ....

This tends to 2. I know this because I can work it out. Some people just memorize it to be 2, but don't know why.
With AI, the latter shall become a considerable majority. I'm not sure if it's a good thing.



I used to consider myself smarter (for lack of a better word) than them



infusing LLMs into workflows has

- for something trivial like spellcheck, maybe it's fine. but for something more complex like building software / architectural designs for buildings. is it really a good thing?
- spellcheck is a binary problem.
- software engg isn't. Nor is generating architectural schematics
- I consider myself to be someone who can, but someone new to this field will happily use it without knowing any better


- with reliance on AI, i'll start fogoing the intuition which is usually developed over years of practice

- when it comes to software, I luckily do consider myself in a postiion to judege




for my personal website which has 10 users, a simple server will do.
-

all things converge to the lowest common denominator if there is not enough artificial resistance present in the system.

Don't get me wrong, I'm long on AI. But is it a good thing for my perosnal cognitive self is a question I'm strugging to answer.



PS> I did use spellcheck for the blog
