Does AI Make You Lazy or Stupid?

Research says: active use of generative AI is associated with procrastination, memory decline, and lower academic performance.

Many of us have already gotten used to it: need to write a text? Ask a question? Make a plan? — we immediately turn to AI. But it is this 'auto‑answer' that may be replacing our own thinking, memory, and critical evaluation. 🏌️

How to avoid making it worse? Try this:

1️⃣ First 30 minutes — no AI, just paper and your brain.

2️⃣ Be skeptical of AI answers — look for mistakes.

3️⃣ Give up AI in one important task each week.

4️⃣ Ask yourself honestly: does AI make me smarter or just faster?
