With AI use increasing, many minds and brains are getting lazy.

Reading an article about someone living in a smart home and Alexa and Siri doing almost everything for her. The only thing AI didn’t do for her was to bathe and feed her. Alexa and Siri also did her work. They ran her household. Alerts her when she is running out of food. When her bills needed to be paid and who she owed. What will spoil in her fridge and what she should eat when before it goes bad. She asked many questions about the weather. The latest news. The stock market. The 2024 election and politics. The war raging in our world. What was on sale and where? What was the best meal to eat? Which restaurant cooks the best of certain foods? Which college was the best? Which social media site posted what? She asked about music, various cultures, styles, fashion, etc.

She asked about climate change, which country was the hottest and the coldest. Then she turned to health issues. Medications, various forms of exercise, vitamin supplements and more. She asked about ways to get youthful skin and stay younger and beautiful at any age. Depression and various Mental Health issues she asked about too. She went into love, dating, males, wealth, and what these wealthy men look for in a woman. She asked about life, love, happiness, wealth and more.

Of course, she went into sex too.

AI responds quickly without hesitation.

This was amazing, as I wondered if her brain was really processing everything.

AI is good for us, but if it does most of the work, what will become of our brain?

What happens when the human brain becomes dormant?

Can our brain become dormant?

Google says: In the mammalian adult brain, most neural stem cells, which originate from the nervous system and can grow into various types of brain cells, stay dormant until they receive specific signals that activate them. Once woken up, they produce new neurons, aiding in brain repair and growth.

With AI use increasing, many minds, souls, and brains are getting lazy. AI is lessening brain use as many humans aren’t thinking for themselves anymore. What will become of humans when their brains become idle, dormant, or just fall asleep?

I know humans who depend on AI like our bodies rely on food and water.  We all know what will happen when humans stop thinking for themselves.

We love AI and how it’s saving lives and making our lives, jobs, and living easier, but at what cost?

Is AI worth the cost to humanity and their brain?

I like using my brain. I love reading and searching for things I want to know about. Reading and doing research are brain exercises for me. I exercise my brain as I do my body and mind. AI dependency will diminish my brain exercises.

What will happen if our brain becomes dormant?

Can the human brain fall asleep?

Lol. I am just wondering.

Thank you fro reading this piece. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanking Dr. Gabriella Korosi for this brain exercise.
