- Now, using AI to generate ideas feels like a shortcut that lacks the rigor and depth of organic thinking.
- The author notices a decline in their intuition, cleverness, and intellectual rigor due to reliance on AI.
- While AI provides polished and convincing outputs, it doesn't contribute to the author's intellectual growth or understanding.
