#3For the record I am a pre-AI human and I read this.

#4Too many never decided to start using their minds. They won't notice the transition.

#5I'm undecided on this, initially I was on the “this is bad, we’re outsourcing our thinking” bandwagon, now after using AI for lots of different types of tasks for a while now, I feel like generally I’ve learnt so much, so much more quickly. Would I recall it all without my new crutch? Maybe not, but I may not have learnt it in the first place without it.

#6I feel like I these doom prognostications were also written during the industrial revolution, the invention of electricity, the invention of television, the invention of the internet, ...
We've turned out okay.

Agreed. I've engaged with different tech since moving things along is now easier.

#8This is already happening. In spite of all of the disclaimers that the AI make mistakes the fact that it is given higher billing in for instance google search results (but also lots of other similar places) means people will interpret it as having a higher reputation because that's how we were conditioned to consume search results. This is doing massive damage already, for instance, essay writing, making summaries, reading comprehension and research skills are dwindling because the teachers in high school (and lower as well, but that's where it is most visible) are not able to keep up with the ease with which good looking slop can be produced. Schools will need to radically alter their programs if they want to continue to be able to educate but they don't exactly turn on a dime when it comes to technology and there are - unfortunately - lots of teachers who themselves lack skills and the ability to transfer those skills. If you graduated before AI became mainstream your diploma will be worth more than those that graduated after.

You are not necessarily typical.
