The internet has made people believe they are smarter than they actually are, I fear AI is only going to exacerbate that trend. Worse yet, it dampens the motivation to be smarter because being smart is hard work, and why put in all that work when you can outsource it and achieve a similar result?

I feel like a live, in-person conversation is the only way to evaluate a person's intelligence these days.

The fatal flaw is that most people don't want to be smarter.

Or that they feel they are already smarter than everyone else.

I remember how life was before the Internet. It did exactly what it set out to do.

They said the exact same about television.
