Every generation has their new technology that makes life easier and equally, and we
freaks a lot of people out.
Back in the 18th century when mass printing was first introduced, people really rallied against books, actually.
They thought they were very dangerous.
They thought they led to too much daydreaming and they consumed too much of our time and it was too easy.
Like, it literally was called book fever.
Similar fears have also come about with the internet, with social media, now with AI.
We've always had these cultural and technological advancements.
We've always been in pursuit of a faster way to gain and share knowledge.
The question that a lot of people ask is, how is AI any different?
I think what makes people so skeptical of AI is not the fact that it answers questions, it's how it answers them and what this has done to our cognitive role in the process.
Essentially, the AI models most of us use have taken our minds from active participants to passive participants.

the cognitive mode that we're in when we use them.
