Writing has ruined our memories. It would be far better if we were forced to recite things (incidentally, in some educational system they're made to recite poetry to remedy this somewhat); not that I'm arguing against letters and the written word.

And AI will make us lazier and reduce the amount of cognition we do; not that I'm arguing against using AI.

But the downsides must be made clear.
