When Machines Start Thinking, What Happens to Human Intelligence?
The Greatest Shift in Human History May Be Happening Inside Our Minds
Twenty years ago, we used machines to lift heavy objects.
Today, we use machines to carry our thoughts.
When calculators became common, many feared that people would forget basic mathematics. When search engines arrived, some worried that people would stop memorizing information. Those concerns seemed exaggerated at the time. Humanity adapted and moved forward.
But artificial intelligence presents a different challenge altogether.
For the first time in history, we have created tools that do not merely store information or perform calculations. They can write, analyze, summarize, plan, recommend, and even imitate human reasoning.
The question is no longer whether AI can think.
The question is what happens when humans stop thinking for themselves.
From Muscle Power to Brain Power
Human civilization has always been a story of outsourcing.
We outsourced physical labor to animals, engines, and machines. Tractors replaced oxen. Cranes replaced dozens of workers. Computers replaced rooms full of accountants.
Each technological leap freed humans from a limitation.
Artificial intelligence is different because it targets something far more personal: cognition itself.
Today, millions of people use AI to write emails, generate reports, solve programming problems, create presentations, summarize books, and even draft personal messages.
Tasks that once required concentration, creativity, and effort can now be completed in seconds.
This raises a profound question:
If a machine can perform the thinking for us, will we continue to develop the ability ourselves?
The Convenience Trap
Convenience has always been one of humanity’s strongest motivations.
Why remember directions when GPS can guide us?
Why calculate manually when software can do it instantly?
Why spend hours researching when an AI can provide a summary in moments?
Each choice seems rational.
The problem arises when these choices accumulate.
A generation that rarely memorizes phone numbers loses that skill. A generation that relies entirely on GPS often develops weaker spatial navigation abilities.
What happens when a generation relies on AI for writing, problem-solving, and decision-making?
Will we gradually lose the mental muscles that previous generations spent years building?
The possibility is difficult to ignore.
Knowledge Is No Longer the Advantage
For centuries, education rewarded those who could acquire and retain knowledge.
Today, information is available instantly.
Tomorrow, AI may make expertise itself widely accessible.
A student can ask an AI to explain quantum physics. A manager can request a complete project plan. A beginner can generate computer code that once required years of study.
This democratization of knowledge is remarkable.
Yet it also changes what it means to be intelligent.
If everyone has access to the same information and tools, the advantage shifts from knowing answers to asking the right questions.
Critical thinking, judgment, curiosity, and creativity may become more valuable than memorization.
Ironically, the skills most difficult for AI to replace may be the very skills humans risk neglecting.
Are We Becoming Smarter or More Dependent?
Supporters of AI argue that every major technology has faced similar criticism.
Calculators did not destroy mathematics.
Search engines did not destroy knowledge.
Perhaps AI will simply free humanity from repetitive mental tasks and allow people to focus on higher-level thinking.
There is merit to this argument.
After all, humanity did not become weaker when machines replaced manual labor. Instead, we redirected our energy toward new challenges.
The danger is not AI itself.
The danger is passive dependence.
A calculator helps only if you understand the math behind it. GPS helps only if you retain some sense of direction. AI becomes most powerful when it augments human intelligence rather than replacing it entirely.
The difference between assistance and dependence may define the next era of human development.
The Next Generation
Consider a child born today.
By the time that child enters the workforce, AI assistants may be integrated into nearly every aspect of daily life.
Homework, research, communication, entertainment, and career planning could all involve AI.
Future generations may never experience a world where every answer was not immediately available.
This could lead to extraordinary advancements.
It could also create a society that struggles with independent thought, deep focus, and intellectual resilience.
History suggests that every powerful tool changes not only what we do but who we become.
AI may prove to be no exception.
A Question for Humanity
Throughout history, humans have built tools to extend their capabilities.
The wheel extended our movement.
The telescope extended our vision.
The internet extended our access to information.
Artificial intelligence extends our thinking.
But every extension carries a hidden risk. When a capability becomes externalized, we often use it less ourselves.
The challenge of the AI age is not building smarter machines.
It is ensuring that humans remain intellectually engaged while using them.
The future may not belong to those who reject AI.
Nor will it belong to those who surrender completely to it.
It will belong to those who learn how to think alongside intelligent machines without allowing those machines to think in their place.
As AI grows more capable, humanity faces a choice unlike any before.
Will artificial intelligence become the greatest tool ever created?
Or will it quietly convince us to stop exercising the very abilities that made us human in the first place?
The answer may shape the future of our species more than the technology itself.

#AI could make humans less intelligent, warns Royal Observatory
Liv McMahon, May 18, 2026
Excerpt: "The rise of #AITools that instantly answer questions and complex problems could make humans less intelligent, the Royal Observatory Greenwich has warned.
"The Observatory, one of the UK's oldest purpose-built scientific institutions, is known for its contributions to astronomy.
Paddy Rodgers, director of the Royal Museums Greenwich group which oversees it, said its rich history of research showed the power of #HumanKnowledge and #curiosity - and the need to avoid 'complete dependence' on AI." 'A reliance solely on instant answers risks losing the habits of questioning and evaluation that underpin knowledge, expertise and innovation,' he said."

@TarkabarkaHolgy
💯. I too worry that people will think my original toots / blog posts are just AI slop. The truth is I spend ages writing and re-writing them, as good prose does not come easily to me. And when I do finish something, it is often structured like Gen-AI output (because AI was trained to imitate human output). It feels like there is a new condition afflicting us where we fear that people will think our work is AI (perhaps irrationally). Is there a term for this? If not, we should invent one. It’s the new imposter syndrome holding us back, and it’s having a chilling effect on real creativity. We should write how we want to write. #AI #HumanIntelligence -

AI says no
Do we really exist? AI: I need to brake. ..
AI can seem incredibly human, but deep dives reveal its limits. When a chatbot tries to 'brake' your thoughts, it just shows its programmed constraints.
AI lacks true consciousness and accountability. It must remain a tool, not an authority. Real freedom of thought belongs to us—we won't be slowed down by algorithms.

Join Samuel Lolagar and me on the 21st & 22nd of April for two days full of learning, hands-on exercises, real life case studies and the latests developments in #OSINT #SOCMINT and #HUMINT.
You will learn how to conduct an in-depth digital investigation on a subject, discover new leads, uncover and utilize all the evidence that are hiding in plain sight (and beyond) and conduct virtual HUMINT in an uncomplicated, step-by-step process.
We have seen firsthand the power of these techniques and we firmly believe in the effectiveness of combining these complementary intelligence disciplines.We are looking forward to passing these skills on to our new group of attendees.
Hope to see you there!P.S. There will be a class challenge, and a reward :)

Large Language Mistake
Current AI models are not on the path to artificial general intelligence
Update: One week after The Verge published my essay, it was cited in a federal district court decision to support the proposition that LLMs do not reason the way that humans do.
