Effortless Online Systems
Is AI making you intellectually lazy?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Great AI Deskilling is trending. And yes, the research is real - repeated AI use does reduce cognitive activity in specific contexts. But the way everyone's writing about it is a lazy read of what's actually happening.
In this episode:
- Why the Harvard and MIT research is real - and also being used dishonestly in every hot take about it
- The specific tasks it's genuinely fine to outsource your brain for - and the work you cannot hand over without consequence
- What passive participation in Claude does to your brainwave activity - and what active participation actually looks like
- Why your clients could just go to Claude themselves - and what that means for the value you're actually selling
- The one Claude setting to change today if you want a tool that sharpens your thinking instead of replacing it
Action step:
Open your Claude or ChatGPT settings today and write a custom instruction telling it to challenge your ideas, push back, and stop defaulting to "that's amazing." Then name the one area this week where you've been outsourcing your thinking - and put yourself back in the driver's seat on it.
