     Huh?
     I don't think you got my point at all. Our brains are plastic in order to use all tools more effectively. As soon, as we can free some space, it will be used by a different function.

     Do we have a shit memory? Yeah. But our logic, multi tasking and planning should be better now.

     It's the difference between a worker and a manager. Our brains need to learn how to manage tools, but as a result, one manager will ALWAYS get more work done, then one worker.

     @LukeAlmighty no I got it, you didn't get mine:
     
     You give up an expanded capacity for memory after learning to effectively utilize the written word. You give up craftsmanship after you learn to use industrial processes to produce a product. You give up some capacity for mathematical reasoning after learning to effectively utilize computer programs to do it for you. Every "advancement" has a cost - thus "no free lunch". Will the cost of AI be outweighed by the benefits? Possibly. I don't think anyone knows yet.
     
     I'm not even making an anti-AI stance necessarily I'm just saying we shouldn't ignore that there are costs and they should be weighed carefully

     Sure, there are absolutely technologies, that caused much more harm then good. And it is hard to see these harms, since they do come decades later.

     My favorite example is birth control. Man, did that little pill bring a little apocalipse on it's own. :omegalul:

     But these are not UI advancements. These are monetization advancements.

     We know how to design a UI that informs users about their options and how to better use the device. But, the Android/Apple UI is specifically designed to send you to the store and nowhere else.

     @LukeAlmighty the one i keep thinking about is the advances in UI and usability producing the "iPad toddlers". It's a really recent example of an advancement that on its face seems to be even more innocent and positive than AI ("everyone can use a computer now isn't that great?") which produced outcomes which are very clearly negative
