  1. AI allowing anyone to program, video games, music without years of training is a good thing. Some of you hate AI, because it will make your labor irrelevant. Which is a good thing. I don't want to hire people to do labor when I do not have to. Nearly all these studies he listed are studying peoples lack of skills on... Newly outdated skills? It doesn't matter how you get to the destination as long as you made it there quicker, and safely. Why are scientist judging people on old skills is beyond me. Perhaps we should also do studies on if people can farm or hunt small game since those skills were important back in the day too. What is the difference between a teen asking AI for advice once it becomes good over their friends? You all do not remember your friends terrible advice back in school? Not every kid even has smart guardians to ask. Then last but not least. The law is so damn convoluted it is criminal. It is criminal we need to pay specialist who went to school for years just to be able to defend ourselves. AI lawyers will give power back to the poor. Again once kinks work out. Will future lawyers on average be dumber due to it? Yeah, because you don't need to be a special person in order to be successful. In my opinion. Medical advances are ruining the gene pool, and the future will be closer to Gataca once we start enhancing people genetically. Unless the ludite conservatives win. Consumerism isn't why people are becoming dumber. It has been around for a long time. Social media, lack of education on critical thinking skills, misinformation, and the rise of anti intellectuals is the issue. Parents letting their kids watch Tate or the Paul Brothers, or Kardashians . The world is changing so fast we don't know how to keep up. Laws, and advice on how to handle it are non existent. Our culture was not prepared. Founding Fathers had no idea about the incoming tech, and didn't think free fpeech would allow politicians puppeted by billionaires to lie 24/7 over a thing we held in our hand. So I'm blaming those. Our education needs to teach critical thinking skills over memorization in an ever changing world with zero experience to pull from, and laws governing misinformation need to be put into place. You all can blame Nike, and Temu ads.
