Do you truly believe that AI will prevent people from thinking?

It seems clear to me that people will continue to think, but in different ways.

I hate to bring this analogy up again, but it seems impossible to escape: did losing the ability to do long division really impact humanity?

I’ve encountered several people now who consult LLMs constantly for nearly every decision. Some proportion of people will absolutely cede their thinking to these things, and some already have.

		To be fair - I know several people for whom this would be an improvement.

It is already relieving people of need for thinking. Today the need; tomorrow the ability.
