Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

the title is a hyperbolic but the research makes sense. but for those who do not contain the gene needed for resding articles.. they gave people a math test. one group had no assisstance the other had ai solve the problems and then take it away and the ai group had trouble finishing once the ai was gone.

i never thought people should use it to take the challenge away. i want ai to sweep thenfloor so i have time to build a new controller for my sprinkler system. i dont want ai to build the project so i can sweep floors.

I made it to the second paragraph, saw the fake word 'cognitative' and abandoned hope.

I believe this but also, how many minutes of doomscrolling?

Use drugs, not ai. Just avoid the brown acid.

Horseshit.

Every 'AI makes you dumb!' article gives people a tool, and the tool works and makes things easier, and then they take the tool away and people are less keen on doing things the hard way. Like any fucking tool. Give people a multiplication quiz, and yank their calculator away halfway through, and they'll be surly about longhand math. Give people a geography quiz, and yank their map away halfway through, and they'll mostly wish you hadn't done that. Humans offload mental effort to external tools! What a fucking surprise.
