Thoughts on thinking
The sadness of feeling less smart when easy access to AI answers removes the need to wonder and process ideas on your own.
tl;dr
The melancholy of losing the feeling of being smart when AI provides instant answers. The act of wondering and processing ideas, even without completion, made us feel intellectually engaged in ways that instant access to answers cannot replicate.
My Thoughts
This felt a bit sad because is true. I used to feel smarter, when I could just wonder with my ideas even if never completed, to at least process it, and now it feels useless just because of how easy I can access answers without requirement to understand anything else.
I hope I can still do writing and programming without LLMs.
