It's intellectually dishonest to assume that AI decreases intelligence.

    Nature papers are really diminishing in quality. A small paper with a linited study on 300 students from Pakistan and China and the result is “Accepting AI without addressing the major human concerns would be like summoning the devils” . Who knew Nature could sound like a bible thumping southern baptist. Personal prediciton. AI fears on human IQ is about as valid as fears of the television and computer games have historically been. Aka incredibly powerful teaching tools wjhen used right, damaging propaganda when used wrong. Autonomois warfare is what scares me, not this hysterical crap everythime humans get a new useful technology.

  I meant to say that unlike time, brain cells aren’t a scarce resource. I make no statement about AIs influence on intelligence yet.

    Given that we know people aren't infinitely intelligent and they perform better with intellectual tasks if given more time... Unless you have an abundance of "free" brain power eg. you work physical labor or otherwise don't have a job that requires mental work... how isn't brain cells (figuratively speaking) a scarce resource?

  Is it also "intellectually dishonest" to say that GPS decreases spatial memory?

  Why are you downvoted? Perfectly reasonable comment.

  First of all, which «AI»?! AI is either a system that can replace some professional (historical sense) or a system that implements intelligence ("AGI"). Specifically, masses relying on unintelligent responses are exposed to unintelligence (e.g. a number of people may absorb the il-logic), so as an aggregate there are risks.
