I haven’t used social networks for a long time, except for LinkedIn. I only read professional blogs on LinkedIn and follow groups of interesting people on Telegram. I try to consume important and necessary content and subscribe to those who share my values and can benefit me, where I can also be an active participant in the community and discuss things with people. Yesterday, I started thinking about how much AI I use, albeit thoughtfully and with critical thinking. I want to study the impact of AI on the brain and human development more deeply, and whether it’s possible to use AI without making myself less intelligent. Although I’m clearly better than I’ve ever been, I don’t know how well I’m developing my skills thanks to AI - I need to read research on this.
In my environment, everyone uses AI actively, even more than I do. Plus, I work in IT, where it’s impossible to manage without AI, and I have life tasks where I let AI automate things. I go to AI for questions most often as my first resource - it has become my main source of information, whereas before it was search engines, YouTube, and people. I still ask people questions too, but I ask AI much more frequently.
