... And this second reply proves my point to your original take.

The guy you are responding to engaged with that article as it had any merit. Even brings up concepts from psychology as if the misuse of the term "memory" by Anthropic was related to actual memory as would be defined in other fields.

I wonder if the excessive usage of AI damaged people's brains enough that they abandoned curiosity and the ability to read things critically, or of they already lacked those things already in the first place.

1. Please don't assume people on the internet are men.

2. "You must only think that because you've abandoned curioisity, can't think critically, and have brain damage that's your own fault" is absurdly polemic. If I took your opinion seriously at all, I'd be quite offended.

I did not. I said "the guy" as a generic term. A guy can be anything.

2. "You must only think that because you've abandoned curioisity, can't think critically, and have brain damage that's your own fault" is absurdly polemic.

Aside the fact that you twisted my phrase to something completely different, I made no definitive assumptions.

I was wondering if excessive AI use damage people's brains. It is something that needs to be exercised. Much like sitting around all day will damage your overall health.
