As #AI grows &spreads , humans lose cognitive powers !

    I did expect this situation of falling stock values for #AI a few months ago , I think.   

But should be expected I believe . 

I have an interesting theory . 

As smartphones got smarter and taking example of Google maps and wide spread internet access in my own humble observation in 1950 to 1960 my own mind used to be so efficient holding a folded map could reach any street and house in a city . 

Once I visit a house , there was no need to refer to any map but brain already wired with information about land marks , the approach road, the tea shop at corner . Knowledge of left or right turn at a junction etc etc.   When a visitor wanted to visit could describe the road characteristics for him to observe and points where he should take right or left turn and the identifying associated smell of disa getting roasted at the corner shop etc etc . 

But once Google maps are live , my brain got rewired or erased those connections . 

Conservation of energy is a universally applicable trait . The brain too . What can be avoided , such work avoided by brain power , conserves energy . 

Now with #AI doing algebraic equations , producing a well balanced technical reports or essays , including connecting dots and drawing logical way ahead looking imaginative too , more neurons in my brain prefer to enjoy the ride and no desire to pick up pencil and paper !!! 

I am from the generation stretching from 1950’s and fortunate to be part of this technology growing by proactive interaction with millions of active brains , exploding in to a situation human brains could one day in 5 yrs not that relevant for day to running of services for good life of humans. 

Just as population of smartphones increased and practically 100% today drive only based on guidance from the digital map. In Bengaluru or Los Angeles my brain rests happily !! Give location that’s it ! 

Voice commands removed the need for even knowing spelling in English or Spanish further grammatical concerns removed in making drafts. 

Till now I am writing without help of #AI and happily quite s few articles missing and bad grammar ?? 

I lose to #AI agent now . 

But let us see how my competition is if ask for projection of this situation in to future and population of interacting #AI agents overwhelmingly present and humans with brains whose neurons stopped wiring, to stand alone and THINK without the ever present #AI quietly running world around . Forget k12 even elementary school multiplication and division the human fails miserably. 

In fact we had already seen the impact of simple calculator on us and our children 

I propose that growth in knowledge base and geographically wide adoption growth on the planet is accompanied by growth of mentally restarted humans .

As population of such dependent mentally retarded human species grows ,  they are content with day to day comfortable life . Practically hunn m ans become as vulnerable as #AI is dependent on power supply . Without any power the human too will nit know how to live and mentally at the stage of undervelooed brain with serious drop in cognitive skills
