Only in the sense using a calculator makes you worse at long division. You're still doing math.

Every pearl-clutching article like 'doctors got worse at spotting cancer when we gave them a tool and then took it away' is only measuring before and after. None of them seem interested in asking: how much more cancer did they find, with the tool?

AI is not a tool it is a replacement, there's no skill in using AI

Weird how software engineers are better at 'being replaced' than novices. They seem to get better results by knowing what it's supposed to be doing.

What a funny coincidence.
