I'm Using My Brain

I keep seeing the same sentence in different words.

“I used my fucking brain.”

“Read an actual book. Write an actual text.”

“Your cognitive facilities have degraded through chatbot use.”

The assumption underneath all of it is the same. If you use AI, you’re not thinking. You’re outsourcing your brain to a machine. You’re lazy, or diminished, or both.

I use AI for almost everything. So I read these posts and I know they’re talking about me.
