I’ve been using AI pretty heavily for the past few months — quick research, rewriting emails, brainstorming ideas, even helping outline stuff I need to write. It saves so much time and the output is usually decent.
But lately I’ve noticed something weird: I’m second-guessing myself way less. I’ll get an answer from it and just kind of roll with it instead of thinking it through like I used to. Yesterday I asked it about something I already had a rough opinion on, accepted its take, and only later realized I didn’t even challenge any part of it.
It feels convenient as hell, but also a little unsettling. Like I’m outsourcing the actual thinking part. Is this normal? Or am I slowly losing the habit of thinking deeply on my own? Anyone else feeling this?
