While browsing the internet for information on the after-effects of the ever-increasing use of AI tools on our minds, I came across this interesting phrase, "Cognitive Debt." I wondered what it refers to.
I came to know that it is like a credit card. The more you use it, the more you get trapped.
Here is an explanation of this term.
"Cognitive debt resembles a mental version of Credit Card debt. When we frequently depend on AI to think for us—such as making decisions, solving problems, or even remembering things—we might save time and effort in the short term, but we risk losing essential skills (and our intelligence) over time."
Here is a link to an article that provides a comprehensive discussion of this phrase.
