AI brain rot.

TL;DR

Technology can make life convenient but may lead to a decline in human abilities, such as intelligence and physical fitness.
Tools like GPS and AI can reduce the need for skills like navigation and critical thinking, potentially leading to a loss of these abilities.
The 'use-it-or-lose-it' test helps determine if a technology is causing skill degradation by asking what was done before, what technology does now, if the skill is still practiced, and what happens if the tool disappears.
Using AI as a tutor or partner for learning, rather than just for quick answers, can enhance performance without subsequent skill loss.
To avoid becoming intellectually lazy ('meat proxy'), individuals should actively engage in thinking, predicting, drafting, recalling, and correcting mistakes when using AI, treating it as a collaborator.
