Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances mental abilities but can also cause skill atrophy if over-relied upon. Just as physical inactivity weakens the body, not exercising the mind diminishes mental skills. AI should be used to gather information, not replace human reasoning. Overuse of AI, such as relying on Google Maps, may erode navigation skills. During COVID-19, virtual interactions affected Gen Z’s social skills. To avoid becoming “artificial dummies,” use AI as a tool to enhance, not substitute, human intelligence.
