Have you ever felt smarter using AI but suspect you're getting dumber? Is the main feature of AI use the gap between feeling and being smart? The uncanny part of the uncanny void. #uncannyvoid

If AI has ever made you feel dumber, you’re not alone—and now there’s research to back it up. New studies suggest AI may be hurting our ability to read, write, and process information effectively. @skdh has a look. youtu.be/H3_6sRXr16M
