Hitting the Books: AI is making people think faster, not smarter
If the AI age requires our brains to be always alert to minor changes and react quickly, optimizing for speed rather than accuracy and functioning on what behavioral economists have labeled System 1 mode , then it shouldn’t surprise us that we are turning into a less patient version of ourselves.
Consider the little perseverance and meticulousness with which we consume actual information. And I sayrather than inspect, analyze, or vet.
Although we have the power to shape our habits and default patterns of behaviors to adjust to our habitat, if pace rather than patience is rewarded, then our impulsivity will be rewarded more than our patience. And if any adaptation isrewarded, it becomes a commoditized and overused strength, making us more rigid, less flexible, and a slave to our own habits, as well as less capable of displaying the reverse type of behavior.
