I genuinely think we’re watching an entire generation forget how to think, and everyone’s too distracted to notice.

My friend asked ChatGPT what 15% of 60 was.

She has a college degree.

I'm not judging her, I've caught myself doing the same thing. Asking AI for stuff I absolutely know but just... don't feel like thinking about.

And that's the problem right there. We stopped tolerating the 5 seconds of discomfort it takes to think.

Remember struggling to remember a word and then suddenly it hits you? That little frustrating pause was your brain working. Now we skip it entirely.

We're not losing intelligence. We're losing the habit of using it.

And habits are way harder to get back than information.
