It's an interesting thing to think about. From the way it's talked about, I would predict that AI will enable people who are more cognitively inclined to think in more complex and refined ways; while other people that over-rely on the results would be the ones that decline. However, research[1] suggests that relying on AI tools degrades reasoning and cognitive ability regardless of your cognitive ability, and may even cause users to stop making their own choices[2]. 1. https://www.404media.co/microsoft-study-finds-ai-makes-human-cognition-atrophied-and-unprepared-3/ https://www.404media.co/microsoft-study-finds-ai-makes-human... 2. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-023-01787-8 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-023-01787-8
