"In the same way you might use Google Maps to get everywhere and not know how to get there otherwise, AI might cause people to stop learning things they would have otherwise had to learn. Ironically, though, Rosen thinks this could cause more stress as people are inundated with AI and constantly shifting gears and not seeing anything quite clearly."
This is one of the most concerning aspects of AI IMO. Learning and thinking are some of the most fundamental aspects of being human. When you can outsource thinking to a machine, how is that going to affect your sense of self worth? How are we going to keep kids motivated to learn in school, when they know that they'll never be able to learn things as well as AI can?
I mean you’re right, but I think there will be some time before everything becomes so integrated that we really do t have to learn anymore. Right now for example we have good translation, but learning a language is still immensely helpful when you’re trying to communicate in another country. I think there will be things like that for quite a while.
