Unfortunately most people in the FuckAI crowd only care about facts when those facts support their feelings. Critical thinking and cognitive decline being a long time coming in the last few decades attributed to computer use in general as well as a decline in the competency of the US educational system isn’t as supportive to their arguments as something that says “AI exposure is making people stupid and crazy”.
Even before the advent of LLMs, more than half of Americans couldn’t read beyond a 6th grade level.
Correlation != causation, but unfortunately the aforementioned problem affects a lot of people.
