Thinking will become a hobby, essay argues
Original: Thinking will become a hobby
A new essay by Diomidis Spinellis argues that as AI increasingly handles reasoning and problem-solving, deliberate human thinking risks becoming a leisure pursuit rather than a daily necessity. The piece is drawing attention on Hacker News, where commenters are debating whether outsourcing cognition to machines will erode mental skills or simply free people to think about what matters to them.
Why now: It taps into current anxiety about AI replacing human cognitive effort.
