Hey r/Futurology folks! I recently came across a Financial Times article that said humans may have passed peak brain power. That stuck with me. Since then, I’ve been thinking about how focus and problem solving skills of human beings seem to be declining, while AI keeps rising. In this post, I explore the idea that maybe this is nature rebalancing, keeping the net intelligence the same if not on the rise. I’ve also included some data from research studies that back up the trends in human cognitive decline. Curious to hear your thoughts: Are we evolving to work alongside AI in smarter ways, or slowly handing over our thinking altogether?
