I think that there might be something to what he is saying. I worry about this in the educational context where students are increasingly relying on AI to either actually write their assignments or do much of the heavy lifting with research, outlining, and argumentation. When we offload these tasks to AI, we are gradually undermining our own capacity for thinking. The risks become even more evident when you consider that AIs will have their own forms of political bias, including "off limits" topics. No doubt, AI will be hugely beneficial when it comes to increased productivity, but we need to be careful not to diminish our own thinking skills in the process.
