For me, it was when my friend told me he uses Twitter AI to tell him things to buy. My hope for humanity was already gone, but that definitely didn’t help it. That, and the fact younger people don’t search anymore, they go right to a chat bot.

Really it just comes down to laziness. We can’t ignore it as a tool, but man is it going to make a lot of people dumb. I also foresee many of the dumb ones thinking they are actually the smart ones, and self thinkers will be viewed as stupid. Definitely not out of the question.
100% agree. I regularly use spellcheck and access encyclopedias / dictionaries to doublecheck myself. I think grammarly was a great invention. But, once it went from analyzing voice/tone/mood to fully written block text many people just assumed they didn’t have to learn to write anymore. My humble brag is that I don’t use predictive text on any device. That makes me slower than others to respond. But in my mind it means I have to think about how to articulate just a bit more and, personally, I think I read more closely because of that too.
Wait…are normals actually using predictive text? Now I’m depressed. I remove that crap on every device
