Why AI Makes Smart People Feel Dumber

Why AI Makes Smart People Feel Dumber

AI writes. AI summarizes. AI answers instantly. So why do many people feel less smart after using it all day?

The Hidden Skill Loss

Before AI, you searched, compared, and reasoned. Now AI jumps straight to the answer.

Your brain skips the workout. Like unused muscles, thinking skills quietly weaken.

Why Confidence Drops

When AI always answers faster, your brain compares: AI → instant Me → slow

This creates fake incompetence. You didn’t get worse. The machine just got faster.

How to Stay Sharp

• Solve first, ask AI later • Write drafts yourself • Use AI as assistant, not replacement

Smart people don’t lose intelligence. They just stop using it.
