AI Is Making You Smarter… and Dumber
Description
AI is making it easier to get answers—and easier to stop thinking.
In this episode, I explore the tradeoff:
why tools that improve short-term accuracy can quietly erode long-term thinking ability.
We break down:
• Why AI can reduce belief in misinformation—and still weaken reasoning
• How "thinking assistants" replace the act of thinking itself
• Why convenience dulls curiosity and judgment
• What it takes to stay sharp in an age of automated answers
This isn't about AI being good or bad.
It's about how it changes the way we think.
Because getting the right answer
isn't the same as knowing why it's right.
