We'll adapt. So far, it seems like every technological increase has demanded more cognitive ability, not less. Sure, we may not need 100 people who are experts at shoveling, but the people developing, maintaining, and even operating the excavators all have to be "smarter". All the thinking, learning, and training needed to stay alive in the cold might have been mostly lost when fire was controlled, but it comes with its own risks and learning curve. I know AI is "smart", so it might hinder us there, but I doubt it can be as damaging as doomscrolling has been on human brains.
