Anthropogenic engineer Eddie Osmani warns that artificial intelligence may make us stop thinking for ourselves.
Working on Claude Coud, he says AI agents now handle so much of his work that he rarely needs to use critical thinking.
He identifies three stages: "cognitive offloading" (delegating tasks), "deferral" (accepting AI answers) and "cognitive surrender" (complete trust in AI).
"Skills you stop practicing are going to disappear, and probably faster than you can guess. ".
