Here's something worth pondering: constantly leaning on AI tools might actually dull your ability to think critically and get creative. That's what recent research is pointing to, anyway.

The good news? It's not inevitable. There are proven ways to keep your mind sharp even in an AI-heavy world. Stay active in deep work, challenge yourself with problems that require actual reasoning, engage in discussions that push back on your assumptions. Keep your brain working, basically.

The takeaway matters for those building or using Web3 tech—we can't let algorithms do all the thinking for us. Strategic thinking and creative problem-solving are more valuable than ever.

Nah, there's nothing wrong with that statement. Many people have their brains fed by AI and don't even realize it.

NGL, what you said is so true. How many people are now asking GPT about everything, their brains are really slowly turning into decorations...

Using AI too much really dulls the mind, but isn't that what most people want—saving effort?

ngl That's why I still prefer to manually code... No matter how powerful AI is, it still needs humans to train and fine-tune.

Algorithmic feeding indeed wastes brains, but the real question is... how many people are truly engaging in deep thinking instead of just waiting to be fed the answers [laugh-cry]
