This sounds like FUD to get people to abandon one of our strongest cognitive enhancing toolsof all time

Nope, its a well-researched article which shows its sources and qualifies its conclusions. You may not like the conclusions, but that doesn't make it FUD.

AI's existence is like the mental equivalent of a heavy weighted barbell that also happens to be edible and tastes delicious. You could use it in a way to get in great shape, you could also use it in a way where you get type 2 diabetes.

It is up to you and your own experiences to decide how that is likely to go for most people.

The very next entry on the homepage, just below this one: "The danger of military AI isn't killer robots; it's worse human judgement"

Funny, the author of this piece was one of the two on the byline of the Ars article with the AI-fabricated quotes.

The cognitive surrender is the most predictable outcome. Many here will claim they'll rise above the path of least resistance and use AI responsibly, and even if that is true for many here, think about the most typical worker. Those who only want to go home at 5 after putting the least amount of effort into their job. Our society is about to be rewritten by them.

Don't know about that research but I certainly have read many HN comments made by those who drank the AI kool-aid (and I write this as someone using Claude Code CLI daily) where any semblance of logical thinking was gone.
