There have been multiple studies at this point showing that a reliance on AI to do your organization, your quantification, your THINKING for you, reduces your ability to do those things. Use it or lose it.

if the accounts you read are endlessly critical of the Dems and pretty much ignore what trump is doing, they're not invested in stopping trump.
