Consumer AI's deskilling risks and the role of social norms
One post argues that consumer AI can encourage deskilling without making it inevitable: people have reasons to preserve their abilities, and norms about appropriate AI use could help.
TLDR
A post argues that technology alone does not determine outcomes, pointing to how people have continued to express and distinguish themselves through earlier technological changes. The author expects consumer AI will probably be similar, while allowing that this time could be different. They acknowledge its deskilling risks but predict people will find ways to preserve skills, partly through norms about when AI use is appropriate. The post distinguishes this argument from issues involving predeployment AI.
