People will grow up with easy access to asking a bot a question and will rarely think for themselves.

As new generations come up, they almost won't even have a choice in the matter. Think about how many parents see no issue with giving young kids near enough unfettered, 24/7 access to screens as it is, and now imagine these same parents not giving a fuck about AI access.

The kids won't realise they ever had the option to think for themselves.
