Here's something that might surprise you — using AI doesn't automatically make you lazy. According to /u/dimonb19a on Reddit, it’s more about mindset than the tech itself. Throughout history, every new tool — calculators, the internet — has sparked the same debate. Some people slack off, while others find ways to grow with it. And AI? That’s just the latest, and arguably the most powerful. The real issue isn’t the technology; it’s how we choose to approach it. As /u/dimonb19a points out, there’s no one-size-fits-all fix. Everyone has to figure out their own balance, their own way of staying sharp while leveraging AI’s strengths. The question is: how will you adapt? Will you let AI do all the thinking, or will you find a way to keep your brain engaged? If this pattern holds, the next wave of winners will be those who master the art of working with AI — not against it.
I think this is not really AI problem, its more about mindset and it repeats with every new technology. Calculators, Internet - every time people get a tool that thinks for them, some become lazy and some learn to use it without turning off their brain. AI is just the next round, much stronger round. Maybe some kind of the final boss.
So probably there is no universal fix and everyone has to find their own way. How do you deal with it? Would like to hear different opinions.
