You could have made that same argument about memory and recall skills prior to search engines. But I'm not sure anyone is now arguing search engines have been detrimental to working intelligence.

Plenty of people are arguing that.

I pretty much skated through college on my ability to remember trivial facts because this is what the classes I took graded on.

Does anyone care that the head of the art history department did his phd on Picasso, taught two full semester courses on him and I know more about Picasso’s life than probably 99.9% of the general population?

Doubtful…

But I do know things that never made it into the search engines (I’ve looked) and this knowledge is locked up in a (probably) retired professor and the few percent of students who actually listened to his lectures twenty-something years ago.

Now everyone assumes that if it isn’t in google it doesn’t exist and have very little idea how to find information outside of what’s contained in its “record of all things”.

They actually have studies that show people consistently score lower on IQ tests when they know their phone is in the same room as them.
