Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though.
He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering.
Finally asked if he was okay. His response floored me.
"Sometimes I forget words now. I'm so used to having ChatGPT complete my thoughts that when it's not there, my brain feels... slower."
He'd been using AI for everything. Writing, thinking, communication. It had become his external brain. And now his internal one was getting weaker.
Made me think about calculators. Remember how teachers said we needed to learn math because "you won't always have a calculator"? They were wrong about that.
But maybe they were right about something deeper.
We're running the first large-scale experiment on human cognition. What happens when an entire generation outsources their thinking?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited about what AI and AI agents will do for people in the same way that I was excited in 2009 when the App Store was launched.
But thinking out loud you got to think this guy I met with isn't the onnnnnly one that's going to be completely dependent on AI.

This is Scott Wu.
10 days ago, he launched "Devin", the first-ever AI software engineer & it's insane.
It took the tech world by surprise.
Here are 7 most-shocking things Devin can do:
As you know, my explorations of the Gen AI space is ultimately all about creative control. You should be able to shape the generative matter using all your artistic sensibilities and your aesthetic sense.
OpenAI's Sora is a huge technological leap, but what excites me the most about it is the modalities where it depends on input other than text alone. Such as video to video. Here's an example of how Sora can change an input video.
Base video🧵
The iPhone camera uses computational photography, applying software to every snap.
This wild photo is an eery example: the subject tries on a wedding dress and each mirror shows her in a different pose.
Why? Apple insider says it’s a “mistake” in the computational photography pipeline:
➡️ “The iPhone camera doesn’t realize it was taking a photo of a mirror, so it treated the three versions of [UK actress Tessa Coates] as different people. Coates was moving when the photo was taken, so when the shutter was pressed, many differing images were captured in that instant. Apple's algorithm stitches the photos together, choosing the best versions for saturation, contrast, detail, and lack of blur.” ⬅️
