Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Mental Abilities: A Discussion on The Times of India Article

Hello everyone,

Today, I came across an article published by The Times of India discussing how artificial intelligence is impacting our mental abilities, particularly those of students. Here is the link to the article for your reference:

I have also downloaded the image of the article for those who might be interested.

When "intellect" is commoditised and anyone can solve medium-level problems using these tools, like sales, coding, law, accounting, and medicine. There is little to no value in being a being of medium intellect anymore. Within 10 years, there will be no need for such people as intellect will be sold - a dime a dozen. AI and the reliance on AI will, of course, make us dumber as there will be NO space left where our intellect, even emotional intellect, will be superior to that of AI.

Unless this intellect becomes part of our own intellect through some sort of neural implant - which it may very well become. And if that happens we may be on the verge of becoming something new - a new species that will emerge and most definitely surpass all others without such implants. Maybe we are just evolving to become more than what we thought possible.
