Even google also uses AI to find the results you're looking for. Then how?

No, using ChatGPT every day won’t make you stupid — but how you use it matters.


Here’s the real talk:

Ways it helps your brain:​

• Learning aid: You can use it to understand complex topics faster.
• Productivity booster: Helps with writing, coding, summarizing, and more.
• Idea generator: Great for brainstorming or exploring new perspectives.

But here’s where it can make you mentally lazy:​

• Blind reliance: If you just copy answers without thinking or checking facts, your critical thinking skills can weaken.
• Avoiding effort: If you let AI do all the hard thinking or writing, you’ll stop practicing those skills yourself.
• No challenge = no growth: Struggle and problem-solving are how brains get sharper. Avoiding them makes you dull.

Bottom line:​

Use ChatGPT like a tool, not a crutch. Ask smart questions, think critically about the answers, and don’t outsource your brain. That way, you’ll actually get smarter.

Some people have no social skills and use AI as girlfriend and friends instead of developing those skills
What if some people have no thinking and analysis skills?
