cognitive dependence

Sasha Gusev @SashaGusevPosts · Mar 23 Asked the AI to make a fun slide about potential de-skilling from AI use. Need to specify more clearly what I mean by "fun". [Embedded comic image, six panels, titled "THE TAKING TREE" (a dark parody of Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree"): 1. A boy climbing a tree — caption: "The boy loved the tree." 2. The tree's branches reaching down offering apples to the boy sitting below — caption: "The tree wanted to give him everything." 3. The boy sitting in the tree while the tree's branches do the climbing/reaching for him — caption: "The tree did all the reaching." 4. The boy standing, now bound/wrapped by the tree's vine-like branches, no longer able to walk freely — caption: "The boy stopped walking." 5. An older man now fully wrapped and carried by the tree's branches — caption: "The tree took all his burdens." 6. A gnarled old tree with a face embedded in its trunk, the man seemingly absorbed/gone — caption: "And the boy could do nothing at all."]
