if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.
This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

I’d love for an AI to chit-chat with my co-workers and fluff my boss so I could just do my work and go home.
“Cognitive offloading” may well be the words that doom the human race to our Idiocrasy future
The words aren’t what doom us, the phenomenon they describe is. Without the words, we remain in ignorance, which compounds with the thoughtlessness.
Conversely, putting words to it gives the mind something to work on.
“Cognitive offloading” == “lobotomy”
🍆💨 uuh mmm yeah!
It’s cognitive too, right?
