Is AI making us worse at thinking? As developers and creators increasingly rely on search engines and AI tools to solve problems instantly, Matt and Mike explore whether we’re losing the habit of thinking things through. Inspired by a recent article on “thinking hard,” this discussion looks at convenience vs cognition, when delegation becomes dependency, and why friction might actually be good for learning.
