AI and Cognitive Ability

Summary

A manager shares concerns about over-reliance on AI tools like Claude diminishing their cognitive abilities, asking for neuroscience insights and advice.

Hi All - Need expert opinion here. I’m a Manager and I use AI for all my tasks. Making Presentations and Prepping Data, writing emails. I have set up Workflows that help me save tonnes of time on a lot of tasks and I’m being at least 2x more productive. However, I feel excessive use has limited my own abilities. I can’t think without going to Claude and dumping everything and then have him make connections. I can’t properly read without giving an article to Claude and asking him to summarise. I send my AI agents to two different Meetings at a time and have them collect notes. What is this Called in the world of Neuro Science? Can I do any exercises to avoid this? Has Mankind gone through this before? What material can I read related to this? Is anyone else experiencing this? Any advice is appreciated.
