AI makes me faster. And less myself...

Since ChatGPT came out I've been using LLMs every day for work. And I've slowly become a worse thinker. Not in the sense that I work less. In the sense that I reason less. Some decisions don't feel like mine anymore... I got there, but I didn't really work through them. Sometimes I catch myself not pushing back on the AI output even when something is off. Turns out there's a name for this: **Cognitive Offloading**. It's not inherently bad: we've always offloaded cognitive tasks to external tools (notes, calculators, GPS). The problem is when you start relying too much on AI that you offload the reasoning itself, not just the execution. My job is to facilitate the AI adoption inside companies across the industries (automotive, finance, consulting, ...): What I see are people who delegate their thought processes to AI and end up disconnected from the conclusions they just reached but they still approve the results. **So I want to know if this is widespread or just me.** If you like to contribute, here is a short survey (2 min) to understand whether this is a real pain for others or it is just me: [https://forms.gle/TaWrEnYRyfaCoF166](https://forms.gle/TaWrEnYRyfaCoF166) I'll share the results openly here. And if there's enough signal, I'm thinking about building something around it, a tool that helps you work with AI without losing track of your own reasoning. Does this resonate with anyone?
