It really doesn't though. Even when google was at its best, and showed you relevant non-spammy results, a degree of critical thinking was required when sifting through the results, evaluating the credibility of the author, website, etc. Do you fact check everything the AI spits out? The ability for people to critically think is basically gone. That's been trending since before AI, but it's really clear to me at this moment in time how bad it has gotten. It's a laziness of thinking that I don't think was the same with Google.

Nah, it was already at zero before ChatGPT came to public attention.

may not have been the same degree but reducing cognitive burden trends in the same direction. This might be bad but it might be very good. Is the AI competing with you to get a promotion and replace you? Is it going to lie to you knowingly cause it doesn't like you?
