099 – Is AI Making Me Lazy?

Do you feel like using generative AI is affecting your cognitive abilities? In this episode, Lily expresses that she believes that using such tools for some tasks has had a negative impact on her ability to perform those tasks herself. David has an interesting perspective on why this needn’t necessarily be seen as a problem – at least not a new one. Lily’s closing thoughts: “As we wrap up, I think it's clear that generative AI, like many advancements before it, may shift the way we think and operate. However, the key point is that we have choices: Technology doesn’t strip us of our abilities unless we allow it to. We can choose how to engage with these tools in ways that preserve or even enhance our skills. It's about finding the balance: embracing what's new, while staying mindful of the skills we value. Thank you for joining David, and we look forward to continuing these conversations.”
