Opinion: A.I. Shortcuts Are Ruining How We Think

Original: Opinion | A.I. Shortcuts Are Ruining How We Think

A New York Times opinion piece argues that relying on artificial intelligence for everyday mental tasks is eroding people's ability to think deeply and independently. The author contends that A.I. shortcuts, from automated writing to instant answers, encourage passive consumption of machine output instead of genuine reasoning. The piece has sparked discussion about cognitive offloading and the long-term effects of A.I. dependence on education, work and critical thinking.

Why now: Growing public anxiety about how constant reliance on A.I. tools may be weakening human reasoning skills.
