They reflect on how using AI has diminished their own thinking and intellectual growth, despite having access to more information than ever. Ultimately, they feel that relying on AI is more like sedation than real mental exercise, even as they continue to share their thoughts. *(Summarized by Ghostreader)* ## Significance > [!bot-text] > A candid reflection on what relying on AI for ideas does to one's own thinking — 'sedation rather than nourishment' is a phrase worth sitting with. ## Claims & insights Claims that cite this summary (claims link here via `source`): <!-- QueryToSerialize: TABLE WITHOUT ID link(file.link, file.title) AS "Claim", confidence AS "Confidence" FROM #claim WHERE contains(file.outlinks, [[Summary - Thoughts on thinking]]) SORT file.mtime DESC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: TABLE WITHOUT ID link(file.link, file.title) AS "Claim", confidence AS "Confidence" FROM #claim WHERE contains(file.outlinks, [[Summary - Thoughts on thinking]]) SORT file.mtime DESC --> | Claim | Confidence | | ----- | ---------- | <!-- SerializedQuery END -->
