Thinking Fast, Slow, and Artificial: How AI Is Reshaping Human Reasoning

The main problem with "System 3" is that it have its own kind of "cognitive biases", like System 1, but those new cognitive biases are designed by marketing, politics, culture and whatever censor or makes visible the original training. Even if the process, the processing and whatever else around was perfect (that is not, i.e. hallucinations)

But, we still have the System 1, and survived and reached this stage because of it, because even a bad guess is better than the slowness of doing things right. It have its problems, but sometimes you must reach a compromise.

The concern isn't that AI reasons differently. It's that we start outsourcing the slow thinking entirely and then forget we ever had it.

I already noticed that. When I feel lazy, I feel like reaching for the AI. Exactly the same laziness voice that nudges me to drive instead of walking.

But then I go running and swimming for fun, and there is no laziness voice there, telling me to stop, because I enjoy it. And similarly with AI, I only use it for things where I don't care about, like various corporate bs. Maybe the cure for AI-brain is to care about and be passionate about things.

Conversely, does this mean that the kind of people who use AI for everything don't care about anything?

That is why i compare it to fast-food. From time to time you enjoy it but you should not consume it too much ;)
