The maker of Deep Seek made it so it would be easier for him to do stocks, which I am doing as well. Unless you all expect us to get degree on how to manually calculate the P/E ratio, potential loss and earnings, position sizing, spread and leverage, compounding, etc., then I will keep using AI. Not everyone of us could specialise on particular areas.

I only ever use it to answer a question and even then I double check it's sources. I also like making superman pics.

Does Wikipedia rot my brain by the same logic? If it didn't exist I would remember lots more historical and technical info, but instead I can just search for it

Can someone summarize this article for me in a bulleted list?

[–] _LordMcNuggets_@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Certainly! Here's a concise summary of the article "AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid" by Rich Haridy, published on May 25, 2025:

AI tools may reduce critical thinking by doing tasks for us.
Relying on AI can lead to "cognitive offloading."
This may harm creativity and problem-solving skills.
The author shares personal concerns from tech use.
Suggests using AI mindfully to avoid mental decline.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

Good deal. I'll use this prompt to generate an article for my own publication.
