Here’s what I’ve seen: it can make skilled people more productive by acting like a “mech suit for your brain.”

For unskilled people, it creates a false sense of productivity, but if the user of the tech does not understand what they are doing they can’t apply the tool productively or judge its output or deal with the things beyond its ability.

So like all other tools before it: it works best in the hands of a skilled user.

Just like in all other fields.

There is no tool that makes an unskilled user skilled, but there are many that can amplify or extend the capability of skill.

If mech suits existed and people actually lived in them they would either get super fat or super skinny. In either case they'd lose all muscle mass.

All technologies are a double edged sword like this, simultaneously strengthening and weakening.

Humans are tool makers and this is what happens when you make tools.

Problem is AI weakening our brain, arguably the only thing that distinguish us from animals. As if decreasing brain size of modern humans was not enough.
