AI and the Psychology of Cognitive Surrender

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-digital-self/202606/ai-and-the-psychology-of-cognitive-surrender

Key points

  • AI subtly erodes our cognitive strength by making delegation seem like self-generated thought.

  • After repeatedly turning to AI for answers, the first thing that erodes is tolerance for not knowing.

  • True judgment is built by wrestling with uncertainty, not outsourcing discomfort to machines.

Not knowing is what makes us human.

Personally I wouldn’t call the effect subtle

I think this capacity for "productive discomfort" has an older name that feels almost out of date. It's patience

Fuck. Most of the problems in my life seem to be addressed by the most simple and difficult things I've heard a thousand times, yet fail to adequately incorporate into my life ("patience is a virtue", "drink water & eat vegetables", "stay active" etc.)
