And basically, the Google Effect says that because we know that Google is there, our brains don't remember anything anymore.
Your brains will remember some things, but your brain will remember them more if you Google them multiple times.
And you almost know, your brain knows not to memorize these things because it doesn't have to.
It's like wasted brain capacity and wasted brain space.
because you know that you could always just go to Google, and Google will always be there, and then the answer is there.
So you don't need to waste brain space memorizing these things, which is scary to think about, because that was Google that's been around for decades.
to think of how reliant we've gotten on Google, because I'm thinking, well, if I don't know the answer to something, I'll just Google it.
How is that any different from people using AI instead of Google?
They're using ChatGPT instead of Google.
It's like an alternative, right?
So a newer, even smarter, probably alternative.

Unnecessary question.
But then the kids are never the kids are never going to live in a world that doesn't have a eye.
Right.
