    Unless you suffer from ADHD with object permanence issues, then in that case you can go fuck yourself.

      How many phone numbers do you know off of the top of your head?

      In the 90s, my mother could rattle off 20 or more.

      But they're all in her phone now. Are luddites going to start abandoning phones because they're losing the ability to remember phone numbers? No, of course not.

      Either way, these fancy prediction engines have better critical thinking skills than most of the flesh and bone people I meet every day to begin with. The world might actually be smarter on average if they didn't open their mouths.

      Something something.... Only phone number I remember is your mother's phone number (Implying that is for when I'm calling her to arrange a session of sexual intercourse, that she willingly and enthusiastically participates in).

                Gemini told me critical thinking wasn't important. So I guess that's ok.

                      Keep it on its toes... Ask chatgpt, then copy paste the answer and ask perplexity why that's wrong and go back and forth...human, AI, Human, AI...until you get a satisfactory answer.

                        That's the same company that approved Clippie and the magic wizard.

                          I‘m surprised they even published this finding given how hard they‘re pushing AI.

                            Oddly enough that's exactly what corporate wants. Mindless drones to do their bidding unquestioned

                                  Of course. Relying on a lighter kills your ability to start a fire without one. Its nothing new.

                                    Remember the:

                                    Personal computers were “bicycles for the mind.”

                                    I guess with AI and social media it's more like melting your mind or something. I can't find another analogy. Like a baseball bat to your leg for the mind doesn't roll off the tongue.

                                    I know Primeagen has turned off copilot because he said the "copilot pause" daunting and affects how he codes.
